Set in the Hindi film industry of the ’40s and ’50s, Jubilee sees Wamiqa Gabbi play Niloufer Qureshi, an aspiring actor who rises through the ranks. Recently, the actor told mid-day that she took inspiration from yesteryear leading ladies, including Nargis, Madhubala and Meena Kumari, for the part (Main Madhubala banna chahti hoon, Apr 12). Yet, when it came to her performance in the peppy number, Babuji bhole bhale, Gabbi turned to the modern generation of actors. She took a leaf out of the books of Rekha, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who are known to command attention with their dancing skills.
