Actress Niharica Raizada, who has earlier acted in
"Waarrior Savitri", will next be seen in "Total Dhamaal". She says she feels
lucky to be part of such a huge film.
Niharica was asked in an interview
about how it feels to be part of an instalment of the successful "Dhamaal"
franchise, and to share screen space with Madhuri Dixit, Ajay Devgn and Anil
Kapoor.
She said: "I feel very lucky to be a part of such a huge film. I
think so many newcomers constantly search for a huge opportunity such as this.
"I will be working in a comedy film for the first time. It is a film which I
think is a complete family entertainer and I am sure that like the title
suggests, this film will do 'total dhamaal' at the box office as well. I am
really thankful to Indra Kumar for giving me this opportunity to work in his
film."
She said she took a long time to return to the big screen as she
wanted to sign something "noteworthy".
"I have been in talks with Sri
Adhikari Brothers and Maruti Pictures for a while now. They had approached me
for another film. I was busy shooting at that time. When I contacted them back
after a while, they told me that they are planning a film which is on a very
large scale.
"I had no idea it was 'Total Dhamaal' but it all fell into
place. It is Indra Kumar and Ashok Thakeria's goodwill and I will always
remember this gesture."
Is comedy difficult?
"I think doing comedy
is a big feature for any actor. Each actor tries to do different types of
characters in his or her film career, so to do comedy with iconic actors like
Madhuri Dixit, Anil Kapoor, Ajay Devgn and Boman Irani, is a huge thing for me."
Asked whether she feels an increased sense of responsibility while working
with such noted actors from the film industry, she said: "Definitely. I will try
to do justice to my character. I want to do good work in the film industry, so
from my end, I will try to perform to the best of my abilities as an artist."
Does she feel it will be a turning point in her career?
"I think
so... When I had a word with Indra Kumar, at that time, he told me that he has
made films like 'Dil', 'Beta', 'Masti' and 'Dhamaal' and if I end up doing good
work in this film, then I will be able to survive in the industry for a long
time. I assured him that I will not disappoint him"
Riteish Deshmukh,
Arshad Warsi and Jaaved Jaaferi will reprise their roles from the previous
"Dhamaal' films in the new instalment.
"Total Dhamaal" is scheduled to
release on December 7.
