Prachi Desai, who has been appreciated for the talent and the way she portrays her role right through her first movie still has a desire that hasn't worked her way. That is to pair with Ajay Devgan, although she had `Once Upon A Time In Mumbai`, she was paired with Emraan Hashmi instead of Ajay. She still speaks this desire openly,
"I have done two films with him (Ajay), but have not been paired with him. In my next film, I would like to be paired with him," she said in an interview. The 25-year-old actress now joins back Ajay in his comedy flick 'Bol Bachchan, which hits the screens on July 6th.
"The first time I met Ajay was on the sets of 'Once Upon A Time...' When Ajay walks in, there is so much silence on the set. His aura and personality is so intimidating but at the same time, as a person, he is so calm. I think, to be around him is so wonderful. I am not scared of him, but there is this respect I have for him which makes me sober down in front of him," she added.
Director Rohit Shetty's Bol Bachchan is Prachi's first comedy and it took her a few days to settle down.
"For me, it was a very different set up. The kind of films which I have done are serious...As far as work is concerned, I feel Rohit Shetty is a director with a magic wand," she said.
She also said to be enjoying the time she had with her lead actors : "In comedy, you cannot get your timings wrong. Also, people who are saying the lines, are not supposed to think it's funny. They just have to say it like normal lines. You have to have a certain understanding about what tone you have to catch and change it from scene to scene," she said
"I learned a lot from watching Abhishek and Ajay. When Abhishek had these hilarious lines, he just had to keep a straight face and say it. Ajay had to talk wrong English and he did it convincingly. It is the toughest thing to do," the actress added.
Asin Speaks on her comedy run!
While Asin, who is having a good run at the box office with her comedy flicks, says that she isn't deliberately picking up the roles. But these just happened on its own, "It is just a coincidence that Ready, Housefull 2 and Bol Bachchan have come back-to-back. It is not that I have special affinity towards them that I end up choosing them. It is not that I want to do only comedy or I have affinity for comedy or that I want to prove myself in comedy," Asin told PTI.
"Coincidentally comedies have come my way but it is not that I have consciously chosen them. I am quite comfortable with comedy and I like doing it, especially when I have great co-stars, it's fun to do and is entertaining," she adds.
But she added that she doesn't want to be tied to the comedy genre, "I will like to try other genres and characters but within the commercial format only. I am ok with drama or romantic comedies," Asin said.
"I have a soft corner for rom-com. But as of now nothing interesting in this format has come my way," she added. She also expressed her desire to work with Shah Rukh Khan, now that she has completed her movies with other Khan's.
She clarified that she hasn't been approached for 'Chennai Express' the movie inspired from Chetan Bhagat's Two states. "I don't know, you will have to ask the makers about it. Even I am hearing rumours about it. I have read Two States and I found it very entertaining. Lot of people told me it would be nice if I play that role because of south culture. But the makers haven't approached me yet." says the actress.
Asin has been working with the top notch actors till now but she said if right kind of script works, then she is more than happy to pair up with a younger star. Asin who is completing her first schedule of 'Khiladi 786' with Akshay Kumar is eagerly waiting on the release of 'Bol Bachchan'.
