It's a great opportunity to be associated with the project, especially since there are two A-list Hollywood stars, one senior and one junior opposite me. I would like to explore and experiment with different kind of cinema. In fact being fluent in German, I would like to do a German film too. She adds " Bollywood will always remain a priority for me. I have taken a conscious decision to do two good Bollywood films and one international film every year. I will be very selective about the kind of films, I want to be associated with. I will focus on quality, it's every actors dream to be taken seriously as an actor. Also I am very fortunate to be associated with professional managers in the west. They take care of every aspect of my career professionally. I am even more fortunate since the agency has the veritable A-listers in their roster. Thankfully I didn't have to struggle. I will give it my best shot.
