It is raining films for Nisha Kothari. The girl with Killer looks has become the hot favourite with both Ramu and Bhatt camp.
In her upcoming film she is playing the role of a bar dancer and the love interest of Emraan Hashmi. Ask her if she had to lock lips with the serial kisser and she says, "No, I have no kissing scenes in the film and I'm not comfortable doing such scenes.
"However, during one shot everyone made an elaborate show of sharing a secret, and left me out of it. They acted like I was going to be made to perform a kissing scene, only to make me nervous, and I played along. Finally, after the entire take there was no kissing, but we all laughed over it."
Nisha believes: There is no harm in looking glamorous as long as you don't end up looking vulgar. There is a thin line between the two. People will love to see you in a glamorous avatar on screen but they will obviously not like to see anything that is vulgar.
"I am just one film old. I have yet to learn so much. Everyday is a learning process for me. I signed The Killer just to get into the Bhatt camp. For a newcomer, the banner is very important," adds the young starlet.
Does this mean that Nisha has quit the Ram Gopal Varma camp?
'No way," she retorts quickly. "Despite James' miserable box-office colelction I've been given a second chance with its new and improved version – Shiva."
"It's a superior version of James. The cast and crew are the same. I wouldn't call it a remake because my role is different; in James I played a model, in Shiva I play a journalist! And Ramuji is directing this one...
with him on the sets, the atmosphere is more professional," she says.
However her association with Factory has also led to alleged link-ups between her and Ram Gopal Varma, to which the young actress says, "I don't care. I have to be focussed and do my work. Let people believe what they want to."
