Prachi agrees that she is the victim of her own image but says that she has no contribution to it. “It’s not like I want to be like this but it’s the kind of roles I keep getting over and over again. I blame it on lack of choices. I think film-makers need to offer me more interesting stuff and I feel that they need to see the real person in me,” she said in an interview.
Me, myself and I
“Yes, I do such roles fairly well but this is not that all I can do.I can do much more. The industry needs to open up a little (towards me),” she added. Prachi will be seen playing Mohammad Azharuddin’s first wife Naureen in the biopic made on the cricketer. “We have grown up watching Azharuddin but we didn’t know much about Naureen so I was completely relying on people’s version of her and that was not enough.”
Directed by Tony D’Souza, Azhar is jointly produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and MSM Motion Picture. The film also stars Nargis Fakhri, Lara Dutta and Huma Qureshi in pivotal roles and is slated for a worldwide release on May 13.
