Bollywood diva Rani Mukerji would love to be a part of a women-oriented movie but feels that actors are like beggars as they can’t choose much.
Rani, who is known for portraying strong roles in her films, is now playing a police officer in upcoming “Mardaani.”
“It is great that female-oriented films are doing well. I wish many more women centric films would be made so that producers get inspired,” Rani told reporters at the trailer launch of “Mardaani.”
“We actors are like beggars. We never choose, but are chosen by creative people, including directors and producers. I will take up the subjects that are interesting and powerful, women-centric roles in particular. I hope there will be better offers,” she said.
Rani is quite excited about her next release and says that the movie is close to her heart.
“This film is extremely close to us. It is the way of awakening the spirit of ‘Mardaani.’ I learned about the Queen of Jhansi and her strength at a very impressionable age. Later I realised that her strength lies in her spirit and not in her physique. We women are descendants of Shakti. Through this film we are talking about the inner strength of women so that no one takes undue advantage of them,” she said.
“Women of Kolkata are known to be strong. My inspiration came from all the strong ladies of my family and lady police officers in real life. I hope this film works,” she added.
