Mumbai, June 14 (IANS) National Award-winning actress Raveena Tandon says she is more interested in portraying strong women on-screen and in the recent past, she has rejected multiple scripts to avoid being typecast.
The actress who had her fair share of success in the '90s era, made her OTT debut with the web series 'Aranyak'. Her performance with a quiet role as Kasturi Dogra was hugely appreciated by the critics and audience alike.
Talking about how she wants to take her career to the next level, post the success of the web series, as well as the commercially successful film 'KGF: Chapter 2', Raveena revealed her strategy.
Raveena said, "My digital debut was a strategic move. Stories with strong female characters are my forte and films which are content-driven attract me the most. I have to admit rejecting nearly 20 scripts as I did not want to be typecast. I would like the audience to remember me for my versatility. It is easy to say 'yes' but you must be bold to say 'no'."
She will reunite with Sanjay Dutt for their upcoming film 'Ghudchadi'. The actress will also announce her new project soon.
Shekhar Kapur has been obsessed with completing his dream project "Paani" for years now, and the acclaimed filmmaker
has now thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for highlighting issues related to water in his Independence Day speech on August 15.
Akshay Kumar and John Abraham's Independence Day war at the box-office has begun. Bollywood's poster boys of nationalism, Akshay and John, have released "Mission Mangal" and "Batla House" respectively on August 15 this year, and initial reports suggest both films have seen a good opening at the box-office on day one.
Bollywood celebs may be some of the richest people in the country, but when it comes to cash, they are in short supply! Like Janhvi Kapoor, who recently had to borrow money from her driver to give it to a kid who was begging.
This was enough to provoke a scornful retort from Kangana’s sister Rangoli who said, “Yeh Madam is attacking Kangana everyday, arrey bhai tune kya kiya hai for what we should praise you? 2 mins role in a film lead by Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan.
