JF goes deglam

She's known for her glamorous avatar on (and off)
screen, but in her next release, Brothers, Jacqueline
Fernandez will be seen in a far simpler look. Jackie plays a
mom in this film, and she admits she was apprehensive
about taking on the part.
"It was experimental for me... At first, I was quite hesitant
to take on such a role because I wasn't sure if I wanted to
get into something so intense at this point of my career.
It's been amazing because it's actually taken away the
stress of looking glamorous all the time and that helped
me concentrate on getting into the skin of the character.
As much as I love the commercial stuff, I think this
experience will help me in my future projects," she says.
Another advantage of her role was the chance to bond
with her on-screen daughter, Naisha Khan. "I get along
well with kids and enjoy working with them. If you're
patient with them, somehow they too are patient with
you. Karan Malhotra was able to direct the child actor
well in the film, and that made it easier for everybody,"
she says.
Meanwhile, the actress has also started on the shoot for
Dishoom with Varun Dhawan and John Abraham in
Morocco. "It's my third film with John and I keep telling
him, Oh my God, how can this be our third film
together!' With Varun of course, it's my first. Varun is this
big ball of positive energy and we have the same sense of
humour. We are even adopting a cuddly monkey now!
Dishoom is a young film," Jackie says. "So coming out of
Brothers " a serious, intense family drama " I'm having
a lot of fun on Dishoom
