Debutant actor Sakshi Gulati agrees that newcomers from non-filmy families may take time to carve a niche for themselves, but it is talent coupled with self belief and conviction, which counts in the end.

"Debutants from filmy families do have an easy journey in the initial stages. But, if you are a gem, nobody can stop you from shining, " Sakshi, whose debut film "Contract" directed by Ram Gopal Varma, releases on July 18, told.

Speaking about her role, Sakshi said her role of "Iya" is an emotionally dry person and not a showpiece in the story. "She is not a submissive character. It is an action based role, " she added.

According to Sakshi, women in earlier underworld films have always been in the background. "I could not have asked for more when Ramuji cast me in a strong, action based role in a underworld film genre which he handles the best."

Sakshi was full praise for Varma for his handling of newcomers. "He is always open to discussing the film with the debutants. We shot in Mumbai and Bangkok. The schedule began in mid-December 2007 and ended in March this year."

Working with Varma was a enjoyable experience, she said and added that the filmmaker's clear vision about what he wants from the actors and sense of humour put all the newcomers at east resulting in a balanced atmosphere on the sets.

Sakshi, an economics graduate from Delhi University, hails from an army background. Her father, she said was a brigadier in the Army. She shares screen space with Adhvik Mahajan in the film. Marathi television and film actress Amrita Khanvilkar is the third lead.
