Soha Ali Khan on 99
She used to be known as the daughter of Sharmila Tagore and former Indian cricket team skipper Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, even as Saif Ali Khan's little sister. But Soha Ali Khan is all grown up and with her performances over the years, ready to have people associate her relatives with her name. Her next film 99 is all set to release on May 1, 2009 and stars Kunal Khemu, Boman Irani, Cyrus Broacha and Vinod Khanna. We caught up with the actress who talked about the movie, its unusual title, her role and doing comedy for the first time.

Tell us about 99.
99 is a fast-paced action comedy filled with a lot of fun and humour. It's a very slick film which I think is very original. Both the directors are from America and they have added clarity to the movie. The film is set in Delhi.


What role do you play in the movie?
My directors' assumption was that, in Delhi, girls are mostly named Pooja or Neha. In the film, my character Pooja is a fashion freak. She pays a lot of attention to maintaining her figure, in spite of working in a hotel. She is outspoken and fearless. The other two characters, played by Cyrus and Kunal, come in my way and each time they do so I get involved in their trouble. Together, we have to find a solution.

Why is it called 99?
It defines the film in a way because the characters always get stuck on 99. They never make it to a hundred in any field, figuratively.

What was it like to do a comedy film?
Comedy is very difficult to do because you have to deliver the dialogue right. Getting the comic timing down is very tough. It's easier to learn drama than comedy.

What was it like working with Cyrus and your other costars?
It was very difficult to work with Cyrus. Once he arrives on the sets, no one can get any work done. He will just talk non-stop and never let his costars work. He cracks jokes all the time and just when you think he is done, he will bombard you with another one. He is full of energy and a very funny man. As for my other costars, working with Boman was great. I have a very short appearance with Vinod Khannaji but whenever I stood near him, I would forget to breathe! I have grown up watching his films and am in awe of his stature and personality. I have worked with Kunal Khemu earlier and I think he has what an actor needs to have. He can dance well, does comedy well and is a great costar. Overall, it was a great team which I enjoyed working with thoroughly.

Elections are coming up. Who are you going to vote for?
I am very proud of the fact that India is a democratic country. We have our freedom and everyone has the right to choose the right candidate to vote for. Let's see, I am looking forward to it.
