In commercial cinema, roles for heroines are limited to being simple or glamorous. I don't want to fall into an image trap.
I am the last person who has any judgement about any kind of cinema, least of all commercial cinema because I am a product of commercial cinema.
So far, I'm known for doing more commercial and glamorous roles. But I don't mind doing a short film.
If you start imagining an audience for yourself, you don't do justice to the job. You fall into that trap of a self-image.
In Hindi cinema, the cabaret dancers were eased out when the heroines imbibed their mannerisms. This could happen in Malayalam cinema too.
When actors do anti-hero roles, they are critically acclaimed. When heroines do negative roles, they are sidelined from the industry.
What do you want? You can't want to be happy, because that's too easy and too boring. You can't want only to love, because that's impossible. What do you want? You want to justify your life, to live it as intensely as possible. That is at once a trap and a source of ecstasy. Try to be alert to that danger and experience the joy and the adventure of being that woman who is beyond the image reflected in the mirror.
I don't choose characters according to looks. I'm comfortable doing both glamorous and non-glamorous roles.
I don't know where this glamorous image and all came from. I don't find myself glamorous or bold.
Some heroines look very glamorous in bikini.
Actors like Pran Sahab, Jagdeep, Asrani established their identities by doing specialized roles but today acting is more general. Actors used to be image conscious then but now heroines are also playing negatives, it is a notable change.
Ravi Babu's films are known to have its heroines playing prominent roles. Further, all the heroines he has cast in his films are well-established, known faces. I consider myself lucky to have been considered by him to play Mohini.
I really want to do roles that have some substance, and I hope writers give us that importance. I can't alone stand up and demand roles like that. It's a collective thing. Writers have to believe in heroines and understand that there's more to a woman than just her curves. It's not that they can't do it. They just choose not to.
The heroines for our established heroes are getting younger and younger. So the heroines, who started their careers with these established heroes, are quickly promoted to senior roles.
I don't want to be typecast as a heroine doing just glamorous roles.
Life is not fair, it never was and it is now and it won't ever be. Do not fall into the trap. The entitlement trap, of feeling like you're a victim. You are not.
Being a Filipino actor in Hollywood, the most frustrating part of landing roles in Hollywood is definitely the limited roles available and the lack of diversity.
