Former TV actor Prachi Desai will make a unique appearance within the Priyanka Chopra-Shahid Kapoor starrer Teri Meri Kahaani (TMK), followed by a full-fledged role in Rohit Shetty’s Bol Bachchan (BB).
“In TMK, I play a quirky, confident girl. It’s a small role and I’m doing it for Kunal (Kohli),” says Prachi.
She could also be ecstatic about Bol Bachchan. “It’s my first attempt at comedy and Abhishek (Bachchan) is a smart co-star,” she says. “He’s very energetic and he’s playing a personality who everyone’s going to like. I’ve worked with Ajay briefly in Once Upon A Time In Mumbai and it was fun working with him this time too.”
Bol Bachchan combines comedy and action, and Prachi plays a well-educated, strong-headed, fun girl. “Shooting for it was numerous fun, with hundreds pranks involved way to Ajay, Abhishek and Rohit,” laughs the actor.
Since her film debut in Rock On (2008), Prachi, who recently launched Citizen L Eco-Drive watches, believes she’s needed to make the effort to modify people’s minds about her.
“Coming from television was quite a drawback,” she says. “People had fixed a picture of me of their heads that took numerous time to modify. And that i don’t like being typecast.”
She also thinks it’s time she’s seen in additional films. “I know I'VE a definite mass appeal and it’s high time the industry wakes as much as me,” she asserts. “So far I’ve been fortunate enough to work with good actors and directors, but I DO KNOW I can’t make random choices. I WILL NOT afford to make any mistakes.”
After Bol Bachchan, Prachi will do a movie with John Abraham, which she claims will surprise people. “It’s essentially a rom-com, and that i play a free-spirited, happy-go-lucky girl,” she says
