"I think boys are even worse than girls"- Sameera Reddy
Sameera will now be seen in a completely opposite role in Ashwini Dheer's debut film, 'One Two Three', where she plays an out and out comic character. The talented actress will be seen falling in love with the lingerie seller, Lakshmi Narayan a la Paresh Rawal. Here are excerpts from an interview with Sameera Reddy..
Q.:
Both
of
your
"Race" and
"One
Two
Three"
will
release
simultaneously.
Are
you
excited?
A.:
I
have
been
asked
the
same
by
a
lot
of
people.
I
don't
know
how
excited
I
am.
Maybe
I
am
little
scared,
or
maybe
I
am
having
mixed
reactions
right
now.
Q.:
What
would
you
like
to
say
about
"Race" and
"One
Two
Three"?
A.:
I
guess
you
know
about
all
the
characters
of
"One
Two
Three".
My
comedy
track
in
this
film
is
with
Paresh
Rawal.
I
am
playing
a
corporate
character
named
Laila.
In
the
film,
I
try
my
level
best
to
make
Paresh
Rawal
buy
a
car.
On
the
other
hand,
Paresh
Rawal
is
trying
to
sell
me
lingerie.
There
is
a
song
"Gupchup
gupchup"
in
the
film
in
which
I
am
trying
to
allure
Paresh
Rawal
to
fall
for
me.
In
the
whole
song
sequence,
I
am
just
following
him.
And
in
"Race"
I
am
playing
Loveneen.
She
has
similarities
with
Karamchand's
assistant
Kitty.
Here
Anil
Kapoor
is
playing
a
detective
and
I
am
assisting
him.
His
idiotic
questions
in
the
film
made
me
think
about
how
someone
should
be
so
dumb.
Q.:
Is
there
any
reason
behind
signing
"One
Two
Three"?
A.:
In
a
single
word
I
can
describe
the
reason.
It's
the
director
Ashwini
Dheer.
My
parents
are
diehard
fans
of
"Office
Office".
That's
really
a
wonderful
show
and
I
too
like
it.
And
truly
speaking,
I
am
missing
Pankaj
Kapoor
in
this
film.
It
would
have
been
fun
if
he
was
in
the
film.
But
at
the
same
time,
I
think
there
is
no
character
for
him
in
this
film.
Ashwini
has
written
the
film
so
well
that
people
will
just
enjoy
every
moment
of
it.
I
think
Ashwini
will
take
me
in
his
next
film,
too.
Q.:
That
was
about
Ashwini
Dheer.
What
would
you
like
to
say
about
Abbas
Mastan,
yor
director
in
Race?
A.:
I
think
they
both
really
think
alike.
They
never
have
any
contradiction
in
thoughts
or
in
conversation.
They
work
like
two
hands
of
a
watch.
They
work
with
such
a
big
star
cast,
but
they
never
let
anyone
feel
that
one
character
is
less
important
than
the
other.
They
draw
their
characters
very
well.
Q.:
What's
the
reason
of
working
in
comedy
after
being
praised
in
serious
genre?
A.:
Actually
I
have
been
working
in
serious
films
for
few
years,
like
Buddhadeb
Dasgupta's
"Kalpurush"
and
"Ami
Yasheen
Ar
Amar
Madhubala".
I
think
that
as
an
actor
it's
my
responsibility
to
work
in
all
kind
of
characters.
At
the
same
time,
I
have
to
mention
"Munnabhai
MBBS"
as
the
reason
behind
my
accepting
comedy.
It's
after
watching
this
film
that
I
felt
like
I
also
should
do
comedies.
It's
my
pleasure
that
Ashwini
offered
me
the
film
and
I
readily
accepted
it.
Q.:
Even
though
you
have
worked
in
serious
films,
people
think
you
are
the
hot
babe
of
Bollywood.
A.:
It's
absolutely
ok
with
me.
Many
people
first
call
me
hot
and
then
beg
my
pardon.
It
looks
like
someone
has
died.
That's
not
cool.
I
am
really
proud
of
this
hotty
image.
You
must
know
that
my
first
film
"Maine
Dil
Tujhko
Diya"
is
the
most
watched
film
on
Television.
People
like
to
watch
it
every
two
weeks.
It's
really
good
news
for
me.
Four
years
have
passed
after
the
film
was
made
but
still
people
from
distant
places
know
me
with
that
image
only.
"Musafir"
also
has
to
be
mentioned
here.
I
got
the
title
of
hot
property
because
of
that
film
only.
With
that
film
I
got
my
acknowledgement
in
Bollywood
and
also
got
an
offer
from
Buddhadeb
Dasgupta
to
act
in
his
film.
Q.:
In
both
"Race"
and
"One
Two
Three"
you
acted
with
other
actresses.
Did
you
face
any
difficulty
working
with
them?
A.:
I
love
to
face
problems.
But
unfortunately
there
was
nothing
like
that.
People
asked
me
what
happened
with
Bipasha
and
Katrina
as
they
were
in
"Race"
with
me.
But
how
can
I
say
that
we
remained
so
busy
with
our
make-up
and
outfits
that
we
did
not
have
time
to
fight.
The
very
same
thing
happened
with
"One
Two
Three".
Q.:
But
we
came
to
know
that
once
your
foot
fell
on
Tanisha's
foot
and
she
created
chaos
in
the
set.
A.:
(Thinking)
Look,
it's
very
normal
in
shooting
floors.
Tanisha
is
a
very
good
human
being.
Actually
we
had
little
chance
to
work
together.
So
there
was
very
little
chance
of
getting
involved
in
fights.
Besides
we
have
lot
of
tension
and
stress
during
shooting.
So
it's
very
normal.
But
truly
speaking
we
didn't
do
any
such
thing
that
the
media
can
make
such
a
big
issue
out
of
it.
Q.:
What
would
you
like
to
say
about
Neetu
Chandra
and
Katrina
Kaif?
A.:
I
don't
understand
one
thing
that
why
do
you
make
a
big
issue
when
girls
work
together.
I
think
boys
are
even
worse
than
girls
but
you
just
overlook
them.
As
far
as
the
floor
of
"One
Two
Three"
is
concerned
I
made
pranks
there
also.
I
enjoyed
most
with
Suneil
Shetty.
You
just
can't
imagine
how
he
ragged
Upen
Patel.
Q.:
Please
tell
us
about
your
forthcoming
films.
A.:
You
must
have
heard
of
the
animation
film
"Mahayoddha
Ram".
I
am
playing
the
role
of
Sita
and
Kunal
Kapoor
is
doing
Ram
in
that.
Lilet
Dube
and
Gulshan
Grover
are
also
taking
part
in
that
project.
I
am
doing
a
film
on
Naxalites.
There
are
Suneil
Shetty
and
Ayesha
Dharkar
with
me
in
that
untitled
film
that
is
to
be
directed
by
Anant
Mahadevan.
We
are
portraying
naxalites
in
that
film.
Actually
as
I
have
done
in
Bengali,
I
wanted
to
do
some
serious
films
in
Hindi
also.
I
am
happy
that
Suneil
offered
me
such
an
opportunity.
We
will
start
its
shooting
very
soon.
Besides
these,
I
have
signed
two
films
with
Kumar
Mangat
and
one
film
with
Buddhadeb
Dasgupta.
And
after
that
I'll
start
shooting
for
Goutam
Menon's
Tamil
film
"Varanam
Ayram".
Surya,
the
superstar
in
Tamil
films,
is
working
with
me
in
this
movie.
I
think
South
Indian
films
are
better
and
we
have
to
concentrate
on
those
films
only.
Q.:
What
happened
to
Sujoy
Ghosh's
"Alladin
and
the
Mystery
of
Lamp"?
A.:
I
am
not
doing
that
film.
Q.:
You
are
a
known
face
in
Bengali
film
industry,
but
you
are
still
struggling
in
Bollywood.
How
do
you
feel?
A.:
I
am
acknowledged
in
all
Bengali,
Hindi,
Tamil
and
Telugu
film
industries.
I
think
every
actor
has
to
struggle
till
the
end
of
the
life.
Even
Shahrukh
is
struggling
to
stay
at
the
top
of
the
industry.
Everything
depends
on
whether
the
film
is
a
hit
or
flop.
Have
a
look
at
Abhishek
Bachchan.
People
still
praise
him
even
after
giving
fifteen
flops.
Shilpa
Shetty
was
foretold
that
her
career
would
be
over
soon,
but
now
have
a
look
at
her.
Kareena
Kapoor
was
told
the
same
thing,
but
after
a
single
hit
she
reached
the
peak
of
her
career.
I
think
it
all
depends
on
time
only.
