Actress Geeta Basra says her comedy film "Second Hand Husband" will see her in a role similar to what Sridevi essayed in the 1997 movie "Judaai".

Talking about the movie, Geeta told IANS: "As the title says it all, the story is based on a second hand husband. It's a very funny film and I am playing a Punjabi girl and actor Gippy Grewal's wife in the film.

"She is a carefree girl and if I may say so, my role is somewhat similar to Sridevi's role in 'Judaai'."

Directed by Smeep Kang, "Second Hand Husband" also features Dharmendra.

Asked about the experience of sharing screen space with Dharmendra in the film, she said: "It was amazing. I was very nervous, but he made me feel very comfortable. He is so amazing, humble and encouraging."

The first schedule of "Second Hand Husband" was widely shot in Punjab and the second schedule will be shot in Mumbai.
