Minissha Lamba plays a new recruit in Madhur Bhandarkar's `Corporate'
|
GIRL-NEXT-DOOR Minissha Lamba plays the role of a simple girl
Minissha Lamba came across as a whiff of fresh air in Shoojit Sircar's Yahan opposite Jimmy Shergill. She played the lead - a Kashmiri girl Ada who falls in love with an Indian Army captain.
The film received critical applause and her work was greatly appreciated. This commerce graduate who was seen in several television advertisements will now be seen doing a cameo in Madhur Bhandarkar's Corporate releasing this Friday.
It seems rather unthinkable for an actor who has done a lead in the debut film and a cameo in the second one. But Minissha has no regrets. She reasons, "When I saw Page 3, I loved it and wished that I could be a part of it. I know Madhur as a director whose characters are more important than the whole film. So when he called me up for reading the script of the film before deciding on his offer of doing a cameo, I couldn't refuse."
Pivotal role
Minissha plays a new recruit in the film who is "full of idealism and enthusiasm and is a real go getter. But at the same time she is very naive who believes things on their face value. What happens to her when she is exposed to the darker side of the otherwise glamorous corporate world and how she is made to do everything that she promised herself she would never do," is what constitutes her role.
Madhur, Minissha asserts, didn't bind her in any acting protocols. "He gave me full freedom to play a simple-minded new recruit. He just gave me some tips that gave direction to my idea of this role."
"My role also has a positive side to it," says Minissha who has a couple of more films in her kitty. She shares, "In Anthony Kaun Hai that also stars Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi, I play a fun-loving girl opposite Arshad. It is a comic thriller. In Rocky by Shyam Bajaj I am an NRI girl who travels to India and loves everything about India that others hate. She is an extremist that way. In Honey Moon Travels Private Limited, I am one of the couples on their honeymoon to Goa. Abhay Deol is opposite me in it."
