Chitrangda Singh to judge a reality show

“The best thing about television is the fantastic exposure it gives an actor,which is a good thing to happen between films”,she said,without divulging more details.

Chitrangda will start shooting for Rohit Dhawan’s directorial debut Desi Boyz with Akshay Kumar in October. This will be her first commercial film. She is also looking forward to Sudhir Mishra’s Yeh Saali Zindagi (previously called Dil Dar-Ba-Dar),in which she plays an ambitious musician. “It’s an interesting character,who is making her way out of the life she is born into,because of her voice. The film also shows how she uses a man who is in love with her to get the person she fancies. There are a lot of twists and turns as I am also kidnapped in the film,” she said,adding that the movie’s release has been postponed as Irrfan,who plays one of the principal characters,has two releases in October. Yeh Saali Zindagi is most likely to release in November.

There have been recent reports that Chitrangda’s mentor Sudhir Mishra is in a fix because Ekta Kapoor,the producer of his next film Driver,wants Prachi Desai for the main lead instead of her. Reacting to the reports,she said. “All I know is that Sudhir has narrated the script to me and I really like the multi-dimensional character of the leading lady. I want to do the film though I have not signed it as yet.”

She informs that Abhay Deol’s Basra,wherein she has a cameo,has been delayed as it went over-budget. “It will now take off after Abhay completes Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara,” she says.

Also,Excel Entertainment’s Dhruv with Farhan Akhtar and Kareena Kapoor and Mishra’s period film Nawab The Nautch Girl And The John Company are taking their time to take off. “Dhruv has spilled into next year because Farhan is busy with Don 2,and Sudhir is working out the dates for the shooting of Nawab…,” she signs off.
