Ameesha Patel, who plays Anil Kapoor's assistant in "Race 2", says it was tough for her to essay a dumb girl.

"Cherry is a dumb blonde character. It was tough for me because to do a comedy role and that too a dumb character is always tough. If you do over-the-top acting, you can irritate the audiences," the 37-year-old said here Thursday at the special screening of the film.

"So it is important to identify that fine line, where not to overact and to stay subdued. But there were Anil Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan whose comic timing is great and they helped me," she added.

Directed by Abbas-Mustan, "Race 2" also stars Deepika Padukone, Jacqueline Fernandez and John Abraham. It hit the theatres Friday.

'Desi Magic' my toughest role

Actress Ameesha Patel will be seen in a double role for the first time in "Desi Magic", and admits it is one of her toughest roles.

"My film 'Desi Magic' will go on floors in April. I am very excited about the film as I am playing a double role for the first time. This film is going to be the toughest role of my career," Ameesha told.

"Desi Magic", her home production, will be directed by a new director, while its screenplay is written by Sanjay Gadhvi.


Talking about the movie's flavour, Ameesha said: "It will be a blend of 'Jab We Met', 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' and other (such) Bollywood films."

The actress says she is enjoying being a producer.

"I am completely enjoying the role of a producer. It is fun being part of the narration, giving suggestions, and contributing a lot more than as an actress. It is like taking care of your newborn baby," the 37-year-old said.

On the acting front, Ameesha's multi-starrer film "Race 2" hit the screens Friday.
