Rising star, Amrita Puri, has said that she doesn’t mind being a supporting actor, but is careful about staying away from accessory roles.
“I have been picky about my roles and prefer to keep gaps in between each film that I do. I don’t want to be just an accessory in films, so I must have an integral and meaty role in whatever I get,” says Amrita.
But then, was choosing Kai Po Che, which is about three male friends, a hard choice? “It wasn’t a hard choice at all! I was more than happy with it because Gattu (filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor) was on top of my list of the directors I wanted to work with, and then, the role is fantastic! I was in no dilemma about this one at all,” says the actress, who adds that supporting roles have a renewed importance in Bollywood.
“There’s a lot more credit given to actors in supporting roles,” she says.
Kai Po Che releases in UK cinemas through UTV-Disney on 22nd February 2013.
