Kangana in a fun avatar? Yep, after wallowing in melancholy and weeping profusely through her roles in movies like Gangster, Fashion,
Kangana Ranaut is now doing a comedy. The movie is
"No Problem" produced by
Anil Kapoor and directed by
Anees Bazmee. Kangana says, "I had decided whenever I do my first comedy it would have to be either with Anees Bazmi or
David Dhawan," and praises
Anil Kapoor for having faith in her capability. Kangana says, "
Everyone thought I was wrong for the part in No Problem. No one was convinced I could do comedy after playing all those traumatised roles. But Anilji convinced everyone that I could."
Kangana adds,
"So far I've never had fun on the sets. All the characters I've played have been introverted and troubled. So I've been in my shell. During 'Fashion,'
Madhur Bhandarkar used to scold me for being in a shell all the time. But if I play insecure paranoid characters I can't be laughing and playing around. But it was the nature of the characters. For Anees Bazmi's film I'm changing completely. I'm going to organize parties on the sets, constantly crack Santa-Banta jokes and most important of all, I will bond with Sushmita. Hopefully our bonding will last beyond one film."
After signing a film together,
Sushmita Sen has taken the lovely
Kangana Ranaut under her wings. Always known to be warm towards her co-stars, Sushmita has taken a special fancy to Kangana because of her facial resemblance to Sushmita's daughter Renee.
Says Kangana, "On the first day that we met we struck a special chord in each other's hearts. I was standing at a premiere and she came up to me. She held my face in her hands and said I've hair exactly like her daughter. And that whenever she saw me she was reminded of her daughter. From that moment onwards we bonded. Luckily I play Sushmita's sister in the film that we're doing together. I love calling her Didi."
Kangana is extremely pleased to be finally doing a comedy. "I was really hurt when people said I was destined only to play tragic roles. I wanted to do comedy for the longest time. And that I've Sushmita playing my sister in the film is an added bonus. We'll have a ball playing sisters."
