Omkara,
Traffic
Signal
and
now
Metro.
Your
choice
in
Bollywood
is
quite
interesting.
I
am
very
glad
that
director
Anurag
Basu
came
to
me
for
this
film
because
I
really
enjoyed
this
film.
When
he
narrated
the
subject
to
me
I
liked
my
role
but
I
never
imagined
that
it
will
come
up
as
well
as
it
has.
I guess Anurag had this whole thing in his head. And I like Anurag very much. I like Anurag's vibe. I have never seen any of his film. I had heard he is a good director. I just went with my instinct and decided to do it. And also another factor was that Irfan Khan was opposite me and I really like working with him. He is a very good actor.
You
search
for
a
prospective
groom
in
Metro
through
matrimonial
portals.
That's
actually
justifies
your
Metropolitan
character
Shruti
is
a
young
girl
living
and
earning
on
her
own
in
Bombay.
But
she
is
also
one
bit
shy
and
under
confident.
She
is
looking
for
love
but
she
doesn't
know
where
to
find
it.
So
she
goes
to
matrimony
portals
and
she
meets
Irrfan.
He
turns
out
to
be
a
very
slimy
guy
in
the
beginning
and
she
thinks
'oh
god
he
is
really
staring
at
wrong
places
and
saying
all
kinds
of
funny
things'.
He
is
a
social
misfit
but
slowly
she
tries
to
look
beyond
all
that.
Will
you
be
seen
in
another
intense
performance?
No.
My
role
in
Metro
is
very
light
hearted
compared
to
some
other
films
that
I
have
done.
My
story
is
quite
funny
and
perky
though
it's
not
hysterical
or
a
sarcastic
comedy.
How
is
Irrfan
Khan
as
a
co
star?
I
like
him
very
much.
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
respect
for
each
other
which
is
always
very
healthy.
I
really
think
he
is
a
genius.
He
is
one
of
the
best
actors
we
have.
He
can
make
any
scene
look
good.
He
can
make
any
actor
look
good.
You
started
your
career
with
some
non
commercial
films
then
you
moved
on
to
mainstream
cinema.
Now
that
you
have
gained
recognition
in
commercial
cinema,
would
you
continue
doing
offbeat
films?
I
am
also
doing
offbeat
cinema
simultaneously
which
you
refer
as
non-commercial
films.
I
continue
to
do
it
but
people
don't
get
to
know
about
these
because
often
they
don't
get
a
theatrical
release
as
they
are
targeted
at
festival
audience.
Then
some
are
in
Bengali
and
others
are
in
black
and
white
like
Dosar,
which
not
many
are
interested
in.
