1. What first attracted you to Race?
2. Tell us about the character you
play in Race?
My character is named Sonia who’s a model
that men fall for very easily. She starts
off liking a particular person but ends up
with another…that forms the crux of the story
and the action!
3. Were you wary about acting in
a film with so many stars – didn’t you think
your character would be lost?
No…every character is individual and equally
important to the story so there is no insecurity
of getting lost!
4. Don’t women normally get sidelined
in thrillers?
This film is not just thrills, its also about
romance and comedy. Yes thrills is a big portion
of it but the film also has big female part
which are integral to the script.
5. Can you talk a little about the
music?
I love the music its totally in sync and
speed with the film. I’ve worked in other
films where I’ve danced to songs of Pritam
and I enjoy it every time…his music has a
good blend of soul and energy at the same
time.
6. How much do you like Atif Aslam?
I am a crazy Atif Aslam fan. I’ve been following
his music for a long while now. Infact I requested
Mr. Taurani (the producers of the film) to
let Atif sing the ballad song and I’m glad
that its worked so well. I think its added
a lot to this song.
7. You’ve done a really sexy scene
in the film – do you find them difficult to
do?
This is a film about steam! There is steam
coming out all the time from all the actors!
Such scenes are part of the film and they
are an important part of the film not just
done for false effect. Actually all the actors
have steamy scenes but its nice that people
are picking out mine to talk about!
8. Do you enjoy acting in thrillers?
Yea…I think Hindi cinema has changed so much
in the last few years that there is more scope
for women to be in thrillers and play a big
part of the film. I enjoy them and infact
I started my career playing thrillers.
9. Have you ever been in a race in
real life?
No I leave that to John!
10. Why should people go see Race?
Its fun, fast, and full of entertainment.
11. Can you give a message to your
fans in the UK?
Thanks guys for all the support and enjoy
RACE.
