Judaai (1997), starring Sridevi, Urmila Matondkar, and Anil Kapoor in lead, has clocked 25 years of release. It has been over two decades since the film hit theatres, but it still continues to have a special place in the hearts of the audience.
The film also had several interesting character actors played by Upasana Singh, Paresh Rawal, Johnny Lever, and Omkar Kapoor. Upasana Singh, who played the dual roles of Seema Bhagat and Vaani Bhagat Jain and became known as the Abba Dabba Jabba girl, has registered the phrase as a movie title and will soon start working on the film.
In an interview, Upasana Singh said, how people still remember her for her mute character. “I played the roles of a mother and a mute woman, who just says ‘abba dabba jabba’. I was not convinced about it but went with the director’s conviction. I put all my effort into expressing those words with different variations and moods. And it clicked! It made me the ‘abba dabba jabba’ girl. People still remember me for that dialogue and request me to say it. I feel blessed about it. Now, I am making a film titled, Abba Dabba Jabba. I have registered the title, and we are working on the script,” she said.
Johnny Lever and Upasana's son Nanak will star in the film Abba Dabba Jabba. She stated that their characters were an important part of the film and that she wishes to carry on the legacy.
