I was intimidated off-camera, says Manasvi Mamgai

Darpan News Desk IANS, 30 Nov, 2014 01:02 PM
    Model Manasvi Mamgai is set to make her Bollywood debut with the film "Action Jackson" and she says initially she wasn't comfortable off-camera.
     
    Asked if it was difficult to make her acting debut with a star like Ajay Devgn, she told reporters: "At first, I was very intimidated, not on-camera but off-camera. The film's shooting had begun in India while most of my scenes were to be shot abroad at a later stage. 
     
    "So I asked the producer to let me come on the sets and get to know everybody. They made me very comfortable. (Director) Prabhudheva sir is like an icon, especially for dancing. And Ajay sir is a sweetheart he gave me lot of technical tips. My main focus was on expressions. He taught me how to look at the camera and be aware of the angles too," she added.
     
    "Action Jackson" also features Sonakshi Sinha and Yami Gautam. And Manasvi got along well with them too.
     
    "Sonakshi is a fun girl. Yami belongs to Chandigarh so, we bonded very well. All three of us have equal roles. No one is overshadowing anybody. So, no cat fights on the sets," said the former beauty queen.
