Rimi Sen talks about her new movie and how she's moving away from comedic roles and doing something with more substance:
Q.: What are you looking forward to in 'Johnny Gaddaar'? A.: This is the first time that I have acted in a genre that is not comedy. I think if the director is good, then everything goes well. I did this film for Shriram ji. I have seen his last film, 'Ek Haseena Thi', and I was spell bound by the way he presented Saif and Urmila. Q.: Tell us about your character in this film. A.: Shriramji has simply forbidden me to say anything about my role. All I can tell you is that I'm playing a simple girl named Mini, someone who wants to live life happily. The role required me to wear clothes styled from the 70s – wrap around skirt, simple churidars, etc. I am not glamorous in the film I look good. My character has many shades. Q.: What was it like, working with Neil? A.: It was a great experience. The best thing is that I did not have to stand on a piece of wood. As all my previous heroes were much taller than me, so I needed to stand on something to gain height. People make you dance on their finger tips, but I have always had to dance on a piece of wood! Q.: There are some hot scenes in the promo of the film. A.: And that is all you see in the movie as well. There are no kissing or love-making scenes between Neil and me. I am not very comfortable with those, and Shriram ji kept that in mind.The movie will also feature Neil Nitin Mukesh, his debut performance which he is quite proud of and he admires himself for not being presented as a loverboy in his first movie. He's ok looking in the pictures, but we'll see if we have a new hottie in Bollywood.
