After Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'BLACK', Nitin Manmohan's 'TANGO CHARLIE' and the forthcoming Ramgopal Varma film 'My Wife's Murder', actress Nandana Sen will be seen as the Indian girl opposite heart-throb Salman Khan and Ali Larter in the Hollywood flick 'MARIGOLD', directed by Willard Carroll.

Apart from these, she'll be seen as the heroine in two upcoming American releases titled 'OVER THE MOUNTAINS' and 'IT'S A MISMATCH'.

Nandana, who grew up in England, India and America, has worked in films from all three continents.

On being asked why she has chosen such a diverse range of films, genres and roles, she promptly quips, "I try to avoid labeling others and getting labeled. The characters I play in my current films are so different from one another precisely because it's a priority for me not to get typecast."

So what does Nandana look for when choosing a character?

"I am drawn to material that is stunningly original, emotionally powerful, yet always realistic; whether mainstream or not, musical or song-less, Indian or international," she says and adds, "I've never consciously developed any kind of an 'image', and I don't believe I will ever try to construct one."
