Bollywood actress Shefali Shah who has been in series like 'Delhi Crime' and the newly released film 'Jalsa,' says the industry sees her as a "serious actor" but she also wants to work on comedy projects.
Featuring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rakul Preet Singh in lead roles, 'Doctor G' is a campus comedy-drama directed by debutante Anubhuti Kashyap, whereas 'Darlings' is billed as a quirky mother-daughter story fronted by Shah and Alia Bhatt, who turns producer with the film.
바카라바카라Doctor G바카라 is a commitment that I made long ago, I am not playing one of the leads, I am part of the ensemble cast. It is just like a guest appearance. I am not part of the comedy. It is a funny and sensitive script and that바카라s why I wanted to do it,바카라 said Shah.
'Darlings' too has a first-time director at the helm in writer Jasmeet K Reen. Also starring Vijay Varma and Roshan Mathew, the film is co-produced by Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment.
바카라As far as 바카라Darlings바카라 is concerned, it is one of the most hilarious scripts that I have ever read. It is a genre (comedy) that I haven바카라t explored or people haven바카라t offered me that because they always think that I am a serious actor and that I do serious roles, etc,바카라 she added.
Speaking about 'Darlings', Shah further said it is an important subject presented in a hilarious way.
바카라It is a dark-comedy, it is wicked, and it is very funny. And the character that I play is a cracker of a woman. I am really excited about it. I had a blast shooting for it,바카라 she said.
Asked if it was a conscious move to be part of light-hearted projects, the National Award winner said she is always looking forward to widening her horizons.
바카라I want to do all kinds of genres and films. It couldn바카라t have been a conscious decision until it came to me. I was very lucky that Jasmeet thought of me for the character. "
바카라The first time she had a chat with me, she realised that I am perfect for this because till then I carry this image of being a serious person and actor. She offered me the film and without blinking an eyelid I said yes. It is a terrific script,바카라 she added.
The actor, whose directorial debut the pandemic-set short film 'Someday' was screened at Indian Film Festival Stuttgart and USA Film Festival last year, said she is open to the idea of going behind the camera once again.
바카라I want to direct but I will do that at my own time. Right now, I am focusing on acting.바카라
'Jalsa' is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
