Actress Esha Gupta feels lucky to be sharing screen space with Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham in "Hera Pheri 3" and hopes to learn comedy from them.
"I feel lucky to be sharing screen space with Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham. Both have different styles of comedy. They were good in 'Dostana'. I loved Abhishek in 'Bluff Master', 'Bol Bachchan'. I think I would only get to learn from them. I am quite excited about it," Esha told PTI.
"Hera Pheri 3" is a comedy film directed by Neeraj Vora and produced by Feroz Nadiadwala. It is the sequel to the 2006 film "Phir Hera Pheri" and is the third instalment of the series.
The film is Esha's second stint at comedy after "Humshakals".
"I don't know if comedy comes easily to me or not. It's a big film... Big franchise. It's a great opportunity for me. The comic element in 'Hera Pheri' series is about saying right things at the right time. It is not about saying funny things. People laugh at the misery of actors," she said.
The 30-year-old actress does not feel the pressure of being part of a huge franchise.
"I don't feel any pressure with this film. It's my second comedy film and I am open to learn the tricks of the trade," says Esha, who is yet to start shooting for the third instalment of "Hera Pheri".
On rumours that she might do Akshay Kumar-starrer "Rustom", Esha is not willing to divulge any details.
"I don't know. I can't talk about it. It would be better if the makers...Producers make an announcement," she said.
Presently, Esha is happy with the response that her music video - "Main Rahoon Ya Na Rahoon" - with Emraan Hashmi is getting.
