New Delhi (PTI): Bollywood actor Chitrangada, who is playing the iconic character of 'Chandramukhi' in Sudhir Mishra's 'Devdas', says her character is a modern day socialite in the film.
Mishra is known for making critically acclaimed films like 'Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi' and 'Khoya Khoya Chand'. His latest film is a modern day interpretation based on Sharatchandra's classic novel 'Devdas'. Lara Dutta is playing the character of 'Paro' in the film while Shiny Ahuja will be seen as the modern day 'Devdas'.
Chitrangada, who had taken a break from the film industry after her debut in 'Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi', recently made a comeback with Onir's film 'Sorry Bhai'. Her latest film is a political thriller set in the backdrop of modern Rajasthan, where Devdas is an aspiring politician in the film while Paro is the member of the opposition party.
"I am 'Chandramukhi' in the film. My character 'Chandra' is a socialite, who is ambitious, selfish, shrewd and beautiful. She dosen't hesitate in using her sensuality to get whatever she wants," Chitragada told PTI.
"What I love about Chandra is the two extremes that her character has. On one hand, she is very materialistic and ambitious but she falls helplessly in love with Dev, who is a complete opposite to what she is," she said.
Asked about the differences with Mishra, who was angry with Chitrangada for not making her comeback with his film, the actress said, "Yes, Sudhir was slightly upset over it but it has been sorted out. Even I wanted to make my comeback with Sudhir's film but Onir was ready with his film and I did not want him to wait just for me," she said.
