New Delhi, April 2
After the hit romantic comedy "Tanu Weds Manu", Kangana
Ranaut plays a cop in just-released "Game". The actress, who says she
makes an effort to do selective work, will be seen in light-hearted roles
in three forthcoming films.
Kangana's three forthcoming releases
are "Rascals", "Double Dhamaal" and "Happy New Year".
"I love
comedy, but you cannot continue doing the same kind of roles. As an actor
it's important to grow, for your own interest or for your audiences'
interest. It gets monotonous. I prefer to do things like 'Tanu weds Manu';
at the same time I loved doing 'Fashion'. They are all very very different
from each other," Kangana told IANS.
"I make an effort to do
selective work," she added.
Asked whether she was offered the item
song that Mallika Sherawat is doing in "Double Dhamaal", she said: "No,
the song was not offered to me. I am generally not interested in doing
item numbers."
"I don't think I have any reservations or
limitation. I havn't come across any so far in my career. There wasn't
anything that I have been incapable of doing or where I found my
parameters very narrow. There hasn't been any incident like that,"
Kangana, whose recent release "Tanu Weds Manu" turned out to be a
hit.
She jumped on the Bollywood bandwagon with critically
acclaimed and commercially successful crime-based romantic saga "Gangster
- A Love Story", which was directed by Anurag Basu.
After
"Gangster", she mostly played tragic roles. Her next release was "Woh
Lamhe" (2006), which was filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt's final goodbye to former
girlfriend Parveen Babi. In the film, Kangana brilliantly portrayed the
late actress' madness and despair.
In "Life In A... Metro" (2007),
a film about big city people coping with emotional and psychological
trauma, Basu presented her as a call centre executive who is in a
relationship with her married boss.
With Bhandarkar's "Fashion", a
dark tale about the fashion industry, she hit bull's eye. Her performance
as an ex-ramp queen won her a national award.
She moved to lighter
roles with "Kites" and "Tanu Weds Manu".
"Game", she says, has
given her ample chance to exploit her potential.
"I play a cop and
it is a very intense performance in terms of body language, speech. It
gave me ample amount of chance to exploit my potential. It's very
refreshing and not something that you guys have seen before on Indian
screen," said Kangana, 24.
The actress, who started working at the
age of 17, has no regrets.
"Every life has its own charm, like my
life has its own charm. My friends are doing post- graduation, a few are
getting married. Their lives might seem charming to me at some point of
time, but they find my life very charming. It's important to be happy in
our place. I don't miss the fun element of college life," she said. |
