Don't have the courage and boldness to do films like 'The Dirty Picture': Kareena Kapoor Khan

June 30, 2014

Kareena Kapoor KhanHyderabad, Jun 30: Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan says though she loves doing commercial films, she would not mind being part of off beat movies if an exciting offer comes her way.

"Commercial films have their own charm. I love doing commercial masala films. In my career commercial films like 'Golmaal Returns', 'Bodyguard', 'Ra.One' and others did well at the box office," Kareena said in an interview here.

"I think the commercial films that I did had something for me to do in it. It is not that in these films I was just there for the heck of it. I enjoy doing commercial films. I think I am the most commercial heroine," she said.

Though the actress loves being part of commercial films, she also wants to act in parallel cinema, provided the offer is exciting. "I will do that (parallel or off beat cinema), but I won't do it just for the heck of it. I have been one of the initial actresses to do films like 'Dev', 'Chameli', 'Omkara' and others," Kareena said.

"At this stage I will not do a film like that because I have done too much of that. The script has to be good as I don't have anything to prove to anyone now...till then I am happy doing commercial films," she said.

Kareena did off beat films in her career primarily because she needed to balance herself as an artist. "I come from a family where I wanted to prove myself as an actress. I was 21 when I played the role of a prostitute in 'Chameli' and then again played it in 'Talaash'," she said.

"My mother-in-law has played a prostitute twice in her career, in 'Amar Prem' and 'Mausam', in a span of 13 years and so have I," she said. The 33-year-old actress says she has done lot of films for friends and now she want to do movies for story.

She did not name the films that she did for the sake of friendship. At a time when most of the films have intimate or bold scenes, Kareena doesn't seem to be open for it. "I don't think I can be part of a film like 'The Dirty Picture'.

I don't think I can ever do a film like this. I don't have the courage and boldness to do such films. For me it is a challenge to be part of a film like 'Golmaal 3' and still have a great role," Kareena said. "It is an honour for me to be part of films like 'Singham Returns', that is what works for me and my career," she said.

Mumbai, Aug 2: None of the sim cards that actor Sushant Singh Rajput was using was registered under his name, said the team of Bihar Police, probing his death case, on Sunday.

The team also informed that one of the sim cards that the late actor was using was registered the name of his friend Siddharth Pithani.

"We are now tracking the call detail records (CDRs)," the police said.

The team also said that they will interrogate the family of Sushant Singh Rajput's former manager Disha Salian, who died few days before Sushant's death.

"Even after constant attempts to connect with them on phone, we have failed to establish any contact," it said.

Earlier today, while talking to news agency, the Director-General of Police (DGP) of Bihar Gupteshwar Pandey hinted at the non-cooperation of Mumbai police with his team in their investigation.

"We don't have post-mortem report details, CCTV footage or any information that has been collected by Mumbai Police during probe till now. Our Chief Minister has requested the Maharashtra Chief Minister to ask his police force to cooperate with us," the DGP added.

When asked if Bihar Police want CBI probe into the case, he said, "We are more than capable of doing an unbiased investigation. We hope that Mumbai Police will cooperate with us and we'll conclude the investigation."

Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14. Mumbai Police who was investigating the case had earlier informed that they have recorded the statements of 41 people, including filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, film critic Rajeev Masand, director-producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and filmmaker Aditya Chopra so far.

A team of Bihar Police is in Mumbai to probe the actor's death after an FIR was filed by Rajput's father KK Singh against late actor's girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty in Bihar in connection with the death case under several sections including abetment of suicide.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had also registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) in Rajput's death case. ED registered the report after an FIR was filed by his father against Chakraborty.

Chennai, Jan 15: Superstar Rajinikanth on Tuesday called for neutrality in journalism and urged media outlets to report the truth.

Addressing an event organised by Tamil magazine ''Thuglak' in Chennai, the superstar-turned-politician said that the country needs a journalist like the late Cho S Ramaswamy, who helmed the publication for decades.

"The times, politics and society are going bad. In such a scenario, the media had a huge responsibility towards the people," he said.

Some television channels are biased towards political parties, Rajinikanth said. He added that media, critics and journalists must report the truth impartially.

Comparing true news to milk and fake reportage to water, Rajinikanth said people will not be able to distinguish between the two if they are mixed.

"Only journalists need to tell which portion is milk and which is water...write the truth and don't make a lie seem like truth," he said, amid applause.
