I won't do art house cinemas: Raaz 3 girl Bipasha Basu

New Delhi: Actress Bipasha Basu, who is all excited about the release of her next movie Raaz 3, says that she has done enough of sexy and seductive roles and hereafter she wants to do meatier roles. But the 33-year-old does not want to do art house cinemas and likes to stick to commercial films.

In an interview with PTI, Bipasha Basu said, "I know I look good. The regular adjectives that come my way - sexy, hot, dusky, bong bombshell. I love them. It is going to stay with me. But I am done looking pretty. Now, I want meaty roles. I want to do entertaining films, where a woman gets the respect of being an actor. "

The Bollywood sex symbol is jealous that all her colleagues are trying to avoid glam roles. Bipasha Basu added, "All my colleagues are trying to move away from that. After all how long can you be an eye candy? I love being an eye candy. I know am an eye candy. But then what. I want to move a little bit deeper."

The model-turned-actress has starred in commercial films like No Entry, Phir Hera Pheri, Dhoom 2, Race as well as off-beat films like Corporate, Omkara and Shob Charitro Kalponik. She says she did try her hands in the art house genre but now wants to just do commercial films which earn a lot of money.

The actress said, "It is said that anyone who does commercial cinema is not acting and anyone who does an art film is acting. I don't believe it. I feel whenever you are doing a film you are acting. So, you need to be applauded for that. I won't do art house cinemas."

She added, "I want to make commercial films. I want my films to make money. You don't have to do off beat films to prove that you can act. I have done it but only to prove myself that I can fit convincingly into every kind of films. I want to do the 100 crore film where the hero does all the work and I get to relax."
