In 2018, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam K Ahuja, Shikha Talsania and Swara Bhasker headlined `Veere Di Wedding`, Bollywood’s first mainstream film about female friendship. Four years on, Bhasker and Talsania — along with Meher Vij and Pooja Chopra — are fronting another buddy comedy. In `Jahaan Chaar Yaar`, four middle-class women break free from the shackles of responsibility thrust on them by their families, and go on a trip to Goa. When we get on a call with Bhasker, our first question is whether the story felt repetitive in some ways. “If I am being uncompromising as an artiste, I naturally find myself in women-led stories. That’s what happened with this film. I chose it even though it felt slightly close to Veere. Road trip and friendship films have been a male bastion. We have not seen four married women on a road trip,” she begins.
