When he was casting for Half Girlfriend, he asked to meet.Have you ever felt insecure about being an outsider in the industry?Of course! I do feel insecure some times.You are also doing a horror film Dobaara: See Your Evil…I have done a special appearance in the film, playing the character of a lawyer. Coming back to Sonali Cable, I’m actually very proud of the project — I learnt a lot as a person and an actor. It feels bad when a film doesn’t do well when you put in so much hard work in your character. A lot of actors pick movies that are commercially more viable. It is quite a different role than my previous roles. Sonali Cable blew me away with its concept and through this film, I wanted to prove my worth as an actor. I feel Prawaal Raman is an amazing director with great films in his pocket like Gayab.Launched by YRF, Rhea Chakraborty talks about her three films this year, Dobaara: See Your Evil, Bankchor and Half Girlfriend, her take on star kids getting work easily, her phase when Sonali Cable didn’t do well at the BO and the insecurities of being an outsider.No one knows where the film will take you as an actor. I met him for Aashiqui 2, so we have a bond. There is an emotional aspect to all his films and I wanted to work with him because I like his work. Bankchor has been stuck for quite a while now.
I also agree that it is a lot easier for star kids China Power Strips to get projects. He told me that if it works for me, it works for him too. I mean, Alia Bhatt is one of the finest actresses we have from this generation. I still have a third film with them pending, and I’m hoping that it will happen soon. Dobaara is another interesting work by him. But then again, talent also matters. It is difficult to stay patient to see myself on big screen, but makers of the film are the best people to know when to release the film. I play an entertainment journalist, who believes that one should have an opinion on every beat. I played an interesting role of an Indian girl based in New York, opposite Arjun Kapoor, who helps move the story forward. I’m trying to keep Saqib Saleem and Huma Qureshi away from the haunted mirror in the film.How did Half Girlfriend happen to you?I’ve known Mohit Suri for the longest time.
And, I like to think that failures teach you a lot — they tell you what you should avoid in the future. Patience is the name of the game in Bollywood.. Of late, the horror genre has been dying in Bollywood. There are a few plans in the pipeline, but nothing is confirmed yet. I’m hoping that the wait for Bankchor is worthwhile. There aren’t many family horror films made at the moment, but Dobaara might change the game. Even big production houses don’t know what will do well and what won’t. Without a doubt, I would want my films to do well, but at the same time, I like to believe in my gut feeling. In fact, Bankchor, my second film with the production house is releasing in just a few weeks from now. She is a star kid launched by a big banner, but has also proved her worth. Excerpts:What went wrong with YRF after they launched you in Mere Dad Ki Maruti?Nothing at all. Actors do all kinds of roles, but once in a while, we also want to do a meaningful film. How does it feel to be a part of a delayed film?These things aren’t in my hands. After your grand debut Sonali Cable didn’t work at the box office, were you upset?I think no one really knows for sure what will work at the box office
