If a film is possible without you,
don't do it: Minissha
By Shwetta Thakkur, Indo-Asian News Service
New Delhi, Aug 18 (IANS) Delhi girl Minissha Lamba is geared up
for her second release in a month but she is not ready to talk
about "Rocky - The Rebel".
"I wouldn't like to talk about 'Rocky'. I can only say that
Zayed is playing Rocky, a guy who undergoes many ups and downs,"
said Minissha, who started her career with
Shoojit Sircar's "Yahaan".
The film didn't do well at the box office but fetched her a
small role in Madhur Bhandarkar's "Corporate".
"It was a great opportunity to work with Madhur Bhandarkar. I
always wanted to work with him. Moreover, you cannot judge an
actor with the length of a role but what role the
actor is playing in the film. I believe if the film is possible
without you, don't do it," Minissha told bollywoodcountry.com.
Recently, Minissha was seen with Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi in
Raj Kaushal's "Anthony Kaun Hai?" and says it was vastly
different from her debut film.
"In 'Yahaan', I played the role of a small town girl called Adaa.
She is very simple but goes against society. But in 'Anthony
Kaun Hai?' I played the role of a girl born and
brought up in Bangkok.
"She goes through a trauma but that has not made her bitter. She
is the moral meter of the film. She believes in humanity more
than money. Both the characters are very
different from each other."
The film was extensively shot in
Bangkok and the actor gorged herself with best Thai food during
her stay.
"Thais are so innovative that every morning you will find
something different in breakfast. I tried everything - from
grasshoppers to cockroaches. My mother saw me eating
worms from the other side of the road and screamed in horror. As
I couldn't understand their language, I couldn't ask them the
name of the dish I was eating."
Minissha enjoyed working with Sanjay and Arshad.
"I am blessed that I got a chance to work with experienced
actors. Every artist is different so the working experience is
also different. I have been working with a pair
(Sanjay-Arshad) that has already created magic on screen. It was
a great experience."
An incorrigible prankster Minissha had lots of fun on the sets
of "Anthony Kaun Hai?"
"When you have actors like Arshad Warsi you can't outdo them and
can only expect that you crack a bad joke and he falls down with
a heart attack. But I will not tell you
anything more."
But the prankster unnerved everyone in Thailand when she went
missing for three hours.
"I had no work to do. So my director and producer asked me to
relax and I went for a massage. Behind my back all my
crewmembers got panicked because neither I knew
the Thai language nor the roads. Also, the drivers did not know
me properly."
Minissha will also be seen in Reema Kagti's "Honeymoon Travels
Pvt. Ltd" but she is upset about "Flat", which has been stalled
for an indefinite period.
"It is unfortunate that my film 'Flat' is not coming," she said.
