In new Shiva, Mohit Ahlawat plays a cop just out of the police academy, faced with a harsh reality he isn't prepared for. Kothari who is shooting for the film confirmed, "It's an interesting character and I enjoyed doing it. This role has given me a better understanding of a journalist's job".
Kothari has no doubts for being considered non-glamorous, "Acting is not about being glamorous or not. It's about getting into the skin of the character. In James, I was a model, so I had to look a particular way while in Shiva my role has different demands. I will dress accordingly and it is Ramuji's film, and he knows best."
Outside Factory, Kothari is playing a bar dancer in Mahesh Bhatt's Killer featuring Emraan Hashmi and Irfan Khan. Kothari's other films include Go, and another untitled one which will go on the floors next month.
