Till now I have mostly done the glam roles. But I do look forward to work for films which will give me more scope to perform as an actor.
It's not that I don't want to do commercial films, but if my part is just to look pretty, I'm not up for it. I'd do a role that expresses something. It's not that I don't want to look good, but give me a part where I have scope to perform.
I have proved my skills as an actress who can perform both character and glamour roles and 'Uyir' would take me to greater heights.
I don't want to get confined to only regional cinema as I want to exploit my potential. I want to perform challenging roles in a much more complex sphere like Bollywood.
I really want to act and act in great roles, which have scope of performance.
The idea is to choose good roles and good movies. I don't want to act simply to remain in the industry, nor am I here to do glamour roles.
Unless I am convinced that it is a strong, prominent role with ample scope to perform, I don't accept it. I want the audience to recognize me for my acting talent.
If you only play the glamour doll and you want to cling on to the image, then it will be difficult. But if you don't, you will prolong your career.
A lot of new girls are arriving every day - let them do the glamour roles! I am done with ultra glam outfits and five song routines - hereafter, I want to do meatier roles, now that I've acted with all the biggies.
I think what happens is, people do just want to see you as a glamour doll that's put up on screen, but I guess it's how you see yourself.
As an artiste, I take up roles where there is scope to perform and that can reach out to the audience.
I need solid roles that provide scope for performance, even if it is just a few scenes.
I look forward to meaningful roles that provide me an opportunity to perform, even if I appear only in a couple of scenes.
I don't want to ever think that I don't know what to do. I want to deal with my own things, to perform my own roles, to be like, "I did this."
I change myself a lot. Some roles you don't want to be big, bulky, muscle-y guy and some roles you want to be a lean, marathon-runner physical type. And some roles you just don't want to be in shape.
I don't want to do 'Hamlet.' I don't want to do Robert Redford roles or Mel Gibson roles or Kevin Costner roles, because I'm not going to be good at them.
