BV: Do you identify with your character in this film?
Amrita: No. But that's what acting is all about. It's challenging only when you step into a new territory. But I guess, this girl-girl obsession is commonplace in Western countries.
BV: You seem to be quite revved about this role?
Amrita: For obvious reasons, Indian cinema has been known to have girls who have been the object of desire between two men. For the first time, here comes a character that is the object of desire of between a man and woman.
BV: Are there any bold scenes in 'Girlfriend'?
Amrita: No. Only the theme is bold- the body language, possessiveness, obsession...
BV: Your next release 'Shart' with Tusshar Kapoor and Gracy Singh is looking quite rustic in promos...
Amrita: (Interrupts). This is one film that I am not happy about. It's taken a long time to release. It has been delayed by two years.
BV: Why did it get delayed?
Amrita: The postproduction took a long time. Plus, since the producers were from the South, they were unaware of how the market functions in Bollywood.
BV: Can you outline your future plans for us?
Amrita: Sure. Apart from 'Shart', 'Rakht', 'Deh' and 'Girlfriend', I am doing 'Team- The Force' and an untitled film with Mahesh Manjrekar, which would have only two characters, Mahesh, and I.
BV: Your career seems to be looking up, these days?
Amrita: Thank heavens and touch wood! I needed it badly. I think the Peppy 'Dilli Ki Sardi' did the trick. I needed a change because I had done quite a few films, but every time, I was getting lost in a crowd. I needed roles where I could express a gamut of emotions. I was fed up of playing a bimbo. Watch out for me in 2004. I feel it's going to be a good year for me |
