After winning hearts with films such as `Pyaar Ka Punchnama` and `Akaash Vani`, actress Nushrat Bharucha, who is all set for the release of her Tamil debut `Valeba Raja`, says she always likes to work with directors who want to work with her.

`I don't like running after directors for films. I happened to sign 'Valeba Raja' because the director saw his character in me. He felt that I was part of his vision. I like to work with such directors who want to work with me,` Nushrat told IANS.

Directed by Sai Gokul Ramnath, `Valeba Raja` also features Sethu, Vishakha Singh and Santhanam in lead roles.

Nushrat said it was Vishakha who recommended her name for the film.

`Vishakha and I are good friends. She suggested my name to the director and Gokul called me because he was also convinced after watching 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama'. When Gokul narrated the script, what I really liked is that he wanted someone like me for the character,` she said.

`I hardly had any time to even think it through because he wanted me to shoot in a week's time. It was a new language and I hardly had time to prepare. But it worked for both of us because the character I play is in sync with my screen persona. Moreover, since Vishakha was already part of the film, I was at ease,` she added.

`Valeba Raja` is a light-hearted comedy and Nushrat says her director `has a nice grip of what the youth enjoys`.

`There's nothing serious, social or too intelligent about the film. It's a fun film and audiences will enjoy it more because they can easily relate with it. I play a character that's like one edge of the film. My character breaks the cliches associated with a south Indian girl,` she said.

Having worked in Bollywood romantic films, Nushrat feels that southern films in the same genre have the local flavour.

`I feel romantic films in south have a local flavour, which I feel people in Bollywood won't even understand. Bollywood either makes intelligent or slapstick comedies, there's nothing in between that's funnier. The normalcy of comedy is missing in Hindi romantic films,` said Nushrat.

Meanwhile, the actress is currently shooting for Hindi film `Meerutiya Gangsters`, which is being directed by Zeeshan Quadri, writer of `Gangs of Wasseypur`.
