“When it comes to 'Rockstar', I was new and had no clue on what was happening or what I had to do! I was thrown into something I had no clue about. In my second film, I have been able to give more, because I had the time to learn,” the 33-year-old added.
Sharing her experience of being a journalist in the film, Nargis stressed: “It was difficult as I am not a real journo. But with the help of workshops, people, documentaries as well as footage from on the field war correspondents of BBC and CNN, and my own effort have helped me understand my character Jaya,” said Nargis.
How's John as a co-star?
“John made me comfortable on the sets. He is a talented actor and a lovely person to work with. It's great to work with people who can make you feel safe and at ease,” she said.
After “Madras Cafe”, Nargis will be seen in an item number with Shahid Kapoor in director Rajkumar Santoshi's “Phata Poster Nikla Hero”.
“It's my first item number. It was fun, but at the same time very difficult. I have learned so much from this experience. I'm not a trained dancer. I had taken classes though,” said Nargis.
On being asked the kind of roles she is looking forward to do, Nargis responded: “I'd love to do an action film where the woman is some kind of hero. I just want to kick some b***. But I'm open to all sorts of roles, because with each role your portray, you learn something new about other people as well as your self.”
She will be seen doing action in "Madras Cafe".
