Actor Katrina Kaif, who has been a darling at the box office of late, as her commercial movies have become huge hits, says she now wants to balance her acting resume by doing a little bit of parallel or serious cinema.
Kat told DNA: “This year onwards, I’m looking for a balance in my film roles though I will always be leaning towards commercial cinema. I love my masti and fun-filled movies and can’t say no to those. But at the same time, I will be looking to do some serious stuff as well and try to experiment.” It has been rumoured that Kat is in talks with acclaimed director Rituparno Ghosh to play the lead in his period drama Devi Chaudhurani based on the story of a lady dacoit.
She adds: “I’m doing a film which is Prakash Jha’s Rajniti (which has Ranbir Kapoor, Ajay Devgan and Arjun Rampal) and that’s completely different from what I have done so far in my career. I kind of like this new challenge too. Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (with Ranbir again) and New York (with John Abraham and Neil Nitin Mukesh) too are quite different from each other. So, though they are commercial material, I’m trying to do things which people haven’t seen me doing.”
Kat is also a part of Blue starring Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt and Lara Dutta as well as De Dana Dan in which she again teams up with Akki. Since all the films are big banner projects, we quizzed Kat whether it is a conscious decision on her part to turn into a big banner girl.
“Nowadays, in these dicey persisting market conditions it is very important to do movies looking at banners as one puts in very hard work for his or her movies and if post that the movie is not released or promotions are not done properly, the film would sink without a trace. I’m very fortunate that I have been getting big banner offers and I want to continue doing good work. I’m grateful to the industry for accepting me as when I came in the industry, I was a nobody with no one to back me,” she ends.
