Madhoo: Want challenging roles like Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor do

Madhoo is known for her role in movies like Roja, Diljale and Phool Aur Kaante.

Highlights

  • Actress Madhoo says she wants to take up challenging roles like actors Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor are doing in films these days.
  • Madhoo, 41, known for roles in films like Roja, Diljale and Phool Aur Kaante, is quite excited about the current lot of films.
  • "My south films have started releasing. One film released last month and did 50 days run, so I believe it's a hit. I have signed a couple of films and will start shooting soon. I have started acting again and I am enjoying that. Hopefully I will do a Hindi film soon, waiting for right movie to come to me," Madhoo told PTI.
  • The actress aspires to do interesting roles and hopes filmmakers think of her in a different way today.
  • "I don't want to say things and limit myself as an actress. I am at a juncture in my life where I can explore and do many different things. I would want producers and creative people to think of something really challenging and wonderful for me as an actress," Madhoo said.
  • "When you are younger and playing a heroine, at that time things are pretty similar - like falling in love with the hero and getting married in the end. But now the movies and characterisation are different. I can do many more things than I did earlier in my life. It is like Chintuji (Rishi Kapoor), Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan), like they are doing fantastic roles now. I hope I can find something like that too," she said.
  • Madhoo was earlier seen in a Telugu film Anthaku Mundhu Aa Tharuvatha, directed by National Award winner Mohan Krishna Indraganti. The film released in August and got a good response.
  • The actress feels that once she does some more films, she might even think of getting into direction.
  • "I do entertain that thought of directing a film. But as of now when I am thinking of coming back in the industry, it is only as an actress. May be once I settle down then definitely in future I would like to direct a film," she added.
