There were some people who asked Ila Arun why she took up a small part in Sherni , headlined by Vidya Balan. But the veteran Rajasthani folk singer-actor says the length of a role is immaterial to her in an important film, like the recently-released satirical thriller on conservation. The movie revolves around Balan s Vidya Vincent, an upright forest officer who is tasked to resolve the man-animal conflict. Written by Aastha Tiku, Sherni has garnered praise for its nuanced narrative set around the challenges faced by Vidya in her professional and personal life.
The 67-year-old, best known for songs like Choli Ke Peeche , Morni Baaga Ma Bole , and Ringa Ringa , said she was happy to be director Amit Masurkar s first choice to play the character of Vidya s mother-in-law.
