Rex Features
The actress, who is known for her parts in Om Shanti Om, Bachna Ae Haseeno and Love Aaj Kal, ditched the romantic genre for the movie.
"It was quite a lot of fun and challenge for me to be a part of it. The film is very different from its subject, plot, look and treatment perspective," she told Real Bollywood.
"I am glad to be doing something of this kind.
"[My character] Shonali is very different person from what I am in real life. Hence, there was a definite effort involved in bringing her alive on screen. It wasn't like being on a home ground for sure."
