Most of your films have been mainstream potboilers. Even the feel and look of your characters were similar? Why have you been doing similar kind of films?
I enjoy being part of the so-called masala or commercial films. Of course, I'd love to do another film like Lootera. I think the way people are looking at films is also changing. There are better roles being written for women. In fact, I'm going to make an announcement of a woman-oriented film soon, which I might be part of. So today, I'm doing Tevar, Action Jackson, and Holiday as well. I like to maintain that balance. It's about enjoying your work and loving what you do. After Lootera, no one is saying that I can't act.

You've been approached to be part of a Rajinikanth project. Have you given the film a green signal?
Yes, I have. It will be my Diwali release. I'm really excited. The film will mark my debut in the south. There was a lot of speculation. Now, when I'm finally making my debut, I'm very proud that it's with the one and only Rajinikanth. I'm looking forward to meeting him. I'd met him long ago when I'd gone to Chennai with my family. I'd like to see his reaction because he has known me as a friend's daughter and now to be doing a film together is really exciting. I know his daughters, Aishwarya and Soundaraya very well. They have always been supportive of me and told me that they are proud of the work I'm doing.

Wouldn't you want to take up more performance-driven roles or woman-centric films?
As I mentioned, I will be making an announcement soon. I'm on the verge of signing on the dotted lines. I only speak about my films when I sign them. It's a woman-centric film and it will be kick ass.
