I play a diva in 'Shab': Raveena Tandon
Bollywood Actress Raveena Tandon has just opted out of Anurag Kashyap's 'Bombay Velvet'
Mumbai: She
has been away from Bollywood for quite sometime but for actress Raveena
Tandon it was not a tough call to play a negative role in Onir's
upcoming romantic
film Shab. Raveena, 41, who is making
a comeback to films after a gap of three years, said she wanted a
challenging role to make her return to Bollywood.
"I
really wanted to do something challenging and fun. I opted for Shab
because Onir is a dear friend and the character which I am playing in
the film is something which I didn't do earlier."
"It's
a role of a diva but has shades of grey in it and in the film I walk
through a very thin line between positive and negative. Onir gave me the
other role first but I wanted this role because I have not played such a
character before. I was more excited to play the negative part,"
Raveena said in an interview.
'Shab', a Delhi set
drama, is a love triangle and stars Prosenjit Chatterjee's wife Arpita
and Ashish Bisht, both are making their Bollywood debut. Sanjay Suri and designer Wendell Rodricks are making guest appearance in the film.
Raveena
said she was always the first choice for Shab, which Onir wrote almost
14 years ago when he was assisting Kalpana Lajmi in Daman. The 2001 film
starred Raveena and Suri. She won a national award for playing a
tortured wife in the film.
"Onir directed us in
Daman because Kalpana fell ill for a long time during the shooting of
the film. Onir discussed the idea during that time with me and wanted to
start up the project in a year or two. I got pregnant in 2004 and film
went to the back burner," she said. Raveena,
who has two children with husband Anil Thadani and two adopted kids,
has done only a handful of films since her marriage.
Her
last film Shobhana 7 Nights, which was considered as her comeback to
Bollywood after pregnancy, is yet to have a box-office release.
"Shobhana 7 Nights was a festival film. I won best actress award in
Chicago film festival. It was a great learning experience for me. I
don't think the film is meant for box-office," she said.
