Screen timing does not matter to me: Sonam Kapoor
Mumbai
January 18, 2018
Actress Sonam Kapoor, who plays a pivotal role in the
Akshay Kumar starrer "Pad Man", says if the character is substantial, she does
not mind playing a small yet important role in a movie.
It was the same
case in "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag".
After her performance in "Neerja" which not
only received positive reviews, but also got Sonam a special mention at the
National Awards, has her criteria for choosing a film changed?
Sonam told
IANS: "It is the combination of the story and my character; screen timing does
not matter to me, honestly. One does not have to be in every single frame of the
film to create an impact of the character. If my part is well-crafted, even with
three scenes, my character can make a major impact on the story. And that's what
matters."
Sonam says she is primarily interested in working with good
directors because filmmaking is a collaborative art where working with the right
team brings the best of every creative individual.
So, who are the
director she wants to work with?
"There are actually few directors that I
would love to work with again, like R. Balki, Rajkumar Hirani, Ram Madhvani. I
loved working with them. That apart, I want to work with Shoojit Sircar, Vishal
Bhardwaj and Shimit Amin among others," she said.
Despite her film
choices, the tag of 'fashionista' never goes away from her image. But she says
she will always remain unapologetic about it.
"I love wearing make-up and
beautiful clothes. I think there is nothing wrong with it. If someone judges me
based on that, it is his problem not mine.
"Seriously, I think when it
comes to films, in last few of them, all my directors wanted me not to wear
make-up because they think I have very good skin. That is why the no make-up
looks. However, I do things in real life that I cannot get a chance to do
on-screen. So yes, in public events, parties I flaunt good clothes," said the
actress, who has featured in movies like "Raanjhanaa", "Khoobsurat" and "Prem
Ratan Dhan Payo".
While Sonam's forthcoming release is "Pad Man", hitting
the screens on January 25, later in the year she will be seen in "Veere Di
Wedding" which will come out on June 1.
