Amrita Rao - When Khalnayak and Nayak wooed Amrita Rao









It was very flattering. I've grown up looking at their classic performances. Sanjay Dutt specially flew down from Bahamas to shoot the song with Anil Kapoor and that was a great gesture. Anil has given me my most lavish song.

About Rs 1.5 crore was dedicated to just that one song. And when they both danced with me in Maariz-e-Mohabbat, I was on top of the moon. There I was dancing with the Nayak (Anil Kapoor's hit film) and Khalnayak (Sanjay Dutt's cult film).

You also get wooed by Akshaye Khanna and Arshad Warsi in the movie. Tell us something about that.
Akshaye is always so prepared that it rubs on to you. He is a one-take actor and hates if there are retakes. He would know by heart what dialogues everyone in that scene would have. And Arshad's a livewire who improvises constantly.

After a de-glam role in Welcome to Sajjanpur you have taken a U-turn for this movie. Which avatar do you like?
I always want to play characters that are totally different from what I'm and so, I love to don in different avatars and will always continue doing that. I loved my look in Shyam Benegal's film and I'm loving the attention my glam look is getting now. I want to challenge myself will don so many more looks in future.

It's been a couple of years now post Vivah (2006) that you haven't had a huge hit. Must be itching to land one with this movie?
You always expect that all the films that you are doing go on to become good hits but it doesn't happen always. I'm excited about this movie and I know that the content is really good plus it has got good stars. Looks like it should become a good hit. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
