Kareena to act as a journalist
The job of a journalist is not that easy as some may think. It’s not only interesting but also an adventurous job. Actors may like journalists at times and they hate some other time. In the end of it all it’s the media that props up an actor or for that matter anyone else. Politicians need them the most in any country.
Kareena Kapoor Khan has decided to take a plunge as a journalist in her next film.
Film stars may have a love-hate relationship with the media, but it seems playing a journo on the big screen is the latest popular trend among actresses. Kareena Kapoor, Amrita Rao and now Nargis Fakhri are essaying the role of journalists in their forthcoming movies.
For the glamorous Kareena, who plays an international journalist in Prakash Jha’s “Satyagraha – Democracy Under Fire”, the role gives her a chance to emulate the grit that she witnesses in the reporters around her.
“I think I am going to take inspiration from all the reporters. The aggression, the drive and the energy that all of you have and (the determination that) I will get this answer and will do anything for it,” Kareena told reporters.
“It is a tough job that you all do and sometimes, we are a little harsh. But I am going to take a little of your grit,” she added. In Anil Sharma’s “Singh Saheb The Great”, Amrita Rao, last seen in “Love U… Mr. Kalakaar”, will be seen as a journo and she admits it is “extremely exciting to be on the other side of the mike”.
Amrita says “I always knew it was a tough job be a journalist. And now after stepping into their shoes, my respect for them has shot up so much more,”
Shoojit Sircar’s political thriller “Madras Cafe” will see Nargis Fakhri playing a simi- lar role opposite John Abraham. This will be Nargis’ second film after “Rockstar!”, and Sircar assures that the actress will surprise everyone with her performance.
“Nargis suited the role and I can assure you that she is going to surprise everybody with ‘Madras Cafe’. She is playing a journalist in the film,” said Sircar.
