Want to present a new aspect with each film: Parineeti Chopra
New Delhi
November 28, 2017
She is just six years old in Hindi filmdom and has been a
part of nine films, mostly in different genres. And actress Parineeti Chopra
says she prefers not to play repetitive characters.
"Audiences are keen
to see a performance, as much as they like watching the stars and
larger-than-life films. So being able to deliver in different genres and tackle
a variety of roles has more value. Personally, for me, repeating myself at this
stage of my career would just be uninspiring. I like to challenge myself and put
out (present) a new shade (aspect) with each film," Parineeti told IANS.
She was last seen on screen in the comic entertainer "Golmaal Again", which
minted over Rs 200 crore in India.
Does crossing these benchmarks matter
to Parineeti?
"As an actor, you want to have a great body of work, but I
would be lying if I said the Rs 100 crore benchmark doesn't matter. It matters
to every actor. It just shows how audiences are accepting you, how much they
love you. I'm loving the feeling that I have right now," she added.
Her
next film project is Dibakar Banerjee's "Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar".
Parineeti says Banerjee was always in the list of her "dream directors" ever
since she started acting.
"I have always been really fortunate to work
with amazing directors. Dibakar has been on my dream directors' list ever since
I took up acting. Working with him has involved elaborate prep and very focused
workshops. He has an exquisite eye for nuance and detail," said the actress.
"His characters make his movie stand out. I am thoroughly enjoying this
process of shooting for the film with him," she said.
Parineeti will be
seen as a fiercely ambitious girl in the film.
Is she similar in real
life?
"I am ambitious, yes, just not fiercely ambitious. When I take up
something, I give it my absolute best. I focus on it 100 per cent and try
achieving it. I don't like ambition that tries to put down people and talent. I
feel there is enough room for everyone to grow," she said.
Whether it was
"Ladies vs Ricky Bahl", "Ishaqzaade" and "Shuddh Desi Romance" or "Hasee Toh
Phasee", "Daawat-e-Ishq" and "Meri Pyaari Bindu", Parineeti says when she plays
a character, she tries to bring it alive with "human, believable traits and
nuances".
"I want to work on varied characters, films and subjects. In
that sense, I am passionate more than ambitious. My character in 'Sandeep Aur
Pinky Faraar', though, is super ambitious and that makes her different from me.
It's also fun playing characters that are so different -- it makes you live
someone else's life, dreams, aspirations," she said.
"Sandeep Aur Pinky
Faraar", which is slated to release next year, also stars her "Ishaqzaade"
co-star Arjun Kapoor.
She says her relationship with Arjun has not
changed.
"Arjun has certainly evolved as one of the bankable actors that
there is today, which is a huge achievement. Arjun's understanding of the craft
and his eagerness to learn sets him apart. With 'Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar', we
are doing a very intense film together... We are at loggerheads in the movie,"
she said.
