The buzz was that Tamannaah Bhatia was considered for the role, but Kajal Aggarwal is the lucky one.
I am excited to be a part of this project. I have worked with Sukumar and Mahesh Babu before and share a good rapport with them,” says Kajal.
Though hesitant to give away too many details about the film, Kajal does spout the oft-heard line that her role in the film is different from what she has done before. “It’s a very intelligent and sensible film,” she says.
Tell her that several heroines had been vying for the role and she says, “I’m not sure about that. I’ve been shooting out of the country for some time, and since I have come back, I have been travelling within the country.”
The actor was recently in Thailand working on her Tamil project with Murugadoss, Thuppakki.
Her Tamil and Telugu projects apart, Kajal is also slowly but steadily inching her way into B-town. The actor is currently shooting for her next Hindi film, Special Chabbis, in which she plays love interest to Akshay Kumar.
The film, based on a 1987 heist, has Kajal as the only woman among 26 men, but she has no qualms about that. “I wanted to work with Akshay and I liked the script; everything worked out well in the film,” she says.
Given her good position in the south film industry, is she aiming for the top position in Bollywood too? “There is no limit to wanting and I’m a very ambitious person, but I want to be a part of good cinema. I loved the roles that have been written for me so far and I want to balance my work in all the industries I am a part of,” says Kajal.
With her kitty full of films, it appears that the actor has no time for anything else in her life. “Right now, I am in a happy space and am extremely busy, which also means that there’s no time for love. I don’t have a man in my life right now and marriage is a long way off,” she signs off.
