Udita Goswami had a good beginning with Pooja Bhatt directed PAAP where she had John Abraham for company. The film got her decent critical response and Bollywood was blessed with a new-age young woman.
However, Udita chose to play it slow and between 2004 till date, she has appeared in only four films as leading lady - PAAP, ZEHER, AKSAR and AGGAR. Except for AGGAR, each of her three films worked at different levels but Udita was still not seen on a signing spree.
“Well, I had a certain thought process around signing only those films which had me in a central role. However, this didn’t quite work because how many women-centric films are actually made today? Guess, I had to have a change in mindset and thankfully now I have revisited my priorities. Yes, I have become flexible in my choice of roles but am still particular about the banners I sign and people I work with.”
Is this the reason why she suddenly finds herself as a part of two Sunny Deol projects?
“Yes, I am working in FOX and THE MAN - both of which are action films with Sunny Deol in the lead. Both films give me a chance to do something that I haven’t done before. In one of the films I get to play a spy and have an intelligent look to me. I wear business suits along with specs and the role requires me to go much beyond just performing stunts”, reveals Udita.
“In another film I have a glamorous part to enact as I play the role of a publishing house owner”, informs Udita, “So you see I am required to carry off different personas and I am happy with the way my new innings has begun.”
