Mumbai:
National-award
winning
actress
Kangna
Ranaut,
who
registered
her
first
hit
this
year
with
Shootout
at
Wadala,
says
the
ups
and
downs
in
her
filmy
career
have
all
been
worth
it
as
she
got
to
work
with
big
names
and
bigger
projects.
After
tasting
success
with
Gangster,
Fashion,
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbai,
Raaz
2
and
Tanu
Weds
Manu,
the
26-year-old
also
went
through
her
share
of
flops
in
Tezz,
Miley
Na
Miley
Hum,
Knock
Out,
No
Problem
and
Rascals
among
others.
But
this
year
looks
promising
to
her
as
she
has
an
interesting
range
of
movies
lined
up
for
release.
"I
have
been
very
lucky
to
have
worked
with
some
of
the
biggest
names
and
been
part
of
some
interesting
projects.
My
journey
has
been
a
roller
coaster,
but
it
has
all
been
worth
it," Kangna
told
PTI
in
an
interview
here.
Ask
her
how
she
deals
with
success
and
failure,
she
says,
"I
don't
let
the
two
of
them
get
to
my
head." In
Shootout
at
Wadala,
Kangna
played
the
love
interest
of
gangster
Manya
Surve,
essayed
by
John
Abraham.
"I
am
glad
that
the
film
has
done
well.
And
ironically
in
films
where
I
have
played
a
gangster's
moll
have
been
successes.
But
I
don't
read
too
much
into
it.
I'm
an
actor
and
at
the
end
of
the
day
delivering
a
good
solid
performance
is
my
priority,"
she
said.
The
actress
is
gearing
up
to
play
a
nautch
girl
in
her
next
film
Rajjo,
to
be
directed
by
newcomer
Vishwas
Patil.
The
film
will
trace
the
journey
of
a
nautch
girl
who
goes
on
to
become
a
classical
dancer.
"There
was
a
lot
of
research
that
went
into
my
role
for
Rajjo.
I
have
visited
'kothas' and
met
with
women
working
there
to
understand
their
body
language
and
mindset,"
she
said.
