New Delhi: Mallika Sherawat who is set to portray one of the most ambitious roles of her career in Dirty Politics has accepted facing politics in Bollywood. The actress in an interview to a leading daily revealed how in the glittering world of Bollywood one gets an opportunity on the basis of favoritism and not on the basis of his/her acting prowess.
"I've faced a lot of Dirty Politics in Bollywood. You miss out on many parts because another actress is the hero's favorite or the producer's favorite."
Also after spending more than a decade in Bollywood, Mallika has created a niche for herself while favoritism factor which she was complaining is evaded for her atleast. However, yes, it still continues haunting the new comers who have just stepped into the industry.
Mallika who caught most of director's attention after her sensational stint in ‘Murder' has appeared in couple of international projects too. And may be her busy schedule at overseas has been the reason why she remained absent from Bollywood for quite a while.
But now with Dirty Politics Sherawat is back in Bollywood. "It is true that I was getting offers abroad and I have worked a lot internationally, but India is my home and Bollywood is my home. I am very excited to do more Bollywood films. "
What prompted Mallika to say yes to the ‘Dirty Politics'? She told a leading daily, “Dirty politics is a story about ambition, about politics, the best part of DP and why I did it was because of my co-stars. Naseeruddin Shah, Anupam Kher, Om Puri, this was a great opportunity. That is why I could not say no to this project. "
Directed by K.C. Bokadia, Dirty Politics is set for release on February 13th.
