"I had to learn how to ride the bike because it was crucial to my role in 'Malang'. When I was told about it, I started taking classes. My trainer told me if you do it well, you will learn in just three days. I took it upon myself as a challenge and believe me, I did it in exactly three days," Elli said.
"I started with a scooter on the first day and got a hang of it. Then I rode the bullet on the second day and by the third day, I could do it all by myself. I cannot reveal much about the role I have in the film but it's a very promising and acting driven role. This is what I have been wanting to do for so long and it's always been a dream to work with Mohit sir. Mohit sir asked me if I know how to ride a bike and I said no, but trust me sir I'll learn it super fast. And I'm glad he put his belief in me, and I proved myself right," she added.
Directed by Mohit Suri, "Malang" also features Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani and Kunal Kemmu. It is co-produced by Bhushan Kumar of T-Series, Luv Ranjan Films and Northern Lights Entertainment's Jay Shewakraman and will release on February 14.
