From
playing
a
faint-hearted
gangster
in
Satya
to
an
autoriksha
driver
in
Mast
to
a
rookie
kidnapper
in
Darwaza
Bandh
Rakho,
Snehal
Dhabi
has
mostly
taken
up
light
comical
roles.
But
with
Sanjay
Khandoori's
Ek
Chalis
Ki
Last
Local,
Dhabi
has
made,
what
we
may
call,
a
career-defining
move!
Dhabi will play the role of a eunuch named 'Habiba Bai' in the film. But the character demands much more than a-man-clad-in-saree. Elaborating on his role, director Khandoori explains, "Snehal plays the head eunuch who runs the entire community and does the monetary collections. Also the eunuchs, who are at higher level, actually give out loans to people; they are more like loan sharks. So if somebody wants money at the last minute they can arrange for big finances because of their high contacts." If that wasn't enough, Snehal's character has another, completely humane facet to it. "His name in the film is Habiba, and the junior eunuchs call him baa, lovingly. So there is a lot of fury as well as a motherly touch to the character."
Ek Chalis Ki Last Local features Abhay Deol and Neha Dhupia in the lead. Deepak Shirke also plays a pivotal role of an extortionist in the film and is shown attracted to men. There is a hilarious sequence where Shirke gags Abhay Deol and ties him to the bed to indulge in a gay activity.
The movie is scheduled to release by the second week of April.
