Top heroine wants to do parallel cinema

Having spent nearly a decade doing mainstream commercial cinema, actress Kajal Aggarwal, who is busy shooting for Tamil comedy “Maari”, says she wants to experiment with independent films and filmmakers.

She said she’d like to experiment with independent cinema and filmmakers. She wants to take up strong and well written characters. But for all that to happen she needs to come across a convincing script and it should just feel right, she said, and added that she’s very particular that she won’t completely “avoid commercial cinema. It’s very important to strike a balance, feels Kajal, who wants to do two commercial and two independent films in a year. She’s waiting to get a script to bowl her over so much that she shouldn’t mind missing a big film. But having reached a certain position in my career, she feels she can choose what she wants now,” she said.

Kajal is also interested to be part of women-centric films. She says we should be proud of films like ‘Arundhati’, which completely changed the perspective of women-centric films at the box-office. People are ready to watch such films and financiers are ready to bet on them. If you’re an actor of certain credibility, it doesn’t matter what gender you are, she feels. Kajal also has yet-untitled Tamil film with Vishal in her kitty and awaits the release of her Telugu actioner “Temper”.
