Urvasi’s J Baby movie role inspired by real life?
Suresh Mari recently shared about the real-life inspiration behind J Baby in an interview with The New Indian Express. He disclosed, “J-Baby is based on my periamma and revolves around an incident that happened in her life. Usually, people make films about a leader or a scientist but I chose my aunt because she is an interesting person. She created a lot of problems in the neighbourhood but these issues always come from her trying to do good. There is a J-Baby in every street. There is an interesting incident that happened in her life which I believe people should know about.”
Highlighting the importance of the film, Mari emphasized, “After watching the film, the audience will know why we wanted them to watch it with their mothers. J-Baby talks about the value of a mother and the importance of staying connected with her and understanding her emotions. This is a story that is happening right now inside every house and that is why I believe people will feel connected to the film.”
For those planning to watch J Baby, Mari suggests watching the film with your mother. Currently, it is available to stream on Prime Video.
