The dusky damsel has been signed as Bollywood’s first female mutant, yes, that’s right, opposite Hrithik Roshan in the much talked about Krissh 3.
The actress from Delhi, who first got noticed in Sudhir Mishra’s Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi in 2003, has come a long way since then.
Apart from her earthy beauty, which made her an overnight sensation, her off-beat roles have been much acclaimed.
Chitrangda, who landed in Delhi after her London shoot, on Sunday night, was expected to rush to Mumbai this week and finalise her clothes, hair, look and even language for the mutant’s role in the Rakesh Roshan film. Apparently Chitrangda’s transformation will be so drastic that even she will find it hard to recognise herself.
A source close to the project confirms, “There are two leading ladies in the film. Priyanka Chopra, who starred opposite Hrithik in Krissh (2006), will be back in the same role. The other major female protagonist will be played by Chitrangda.
They needed someone who could look earthy and ethereal. Both Rakesh and Hrithik Roshan decided Chitrangda was the best bet for the part of the sizzling female mutant.”
Apparently Rakesh Roshan decided on Chitrangda, after seeing her in Sudhir Mishra’s Yeh Saali Zindagi (2011).
When contacted, Chitrangda said, “I’m really not allowed to talk about this. I’ve just returned from shooting Desi Boyz in London. I got to do some serious Bollywood dancing for the first time. Akshay Kumar really helped me with my steps. I am surprised at how much he understands cinema. I wouldn’t be surprised if he turns director soon.”
Well, we are sure, there’s more of serious mainstream Bollywood coming her way soon. And with Hrithik Roshan in Krissh 3, she’d get to do more of Bollywood dancing than before.
