Right from
the start of her colorful career at Bollywood, Kajol, daughter of the
yesteryear star, Tanuja, has always been a self-made, independent person who
has always been able to make her presence on the screen regardless of who her
male co-star is! May it be King Khan or Big B, Kajol has won her acclaims
purely on the merit of her performance on her own grounds and conditions, at
her own space!
Indeed it
has been a very long time since she had made her appearance in a Tamil film!
Rajeev Menon’s ‘Minsara Kanavu’ released in 1997 was her debut vehicle in Tamil
and dancing star Prabhu Deva was her co-star in that! If the rumor mills are to
be believed, she was to act in a Mnirathnam film but it never happened so far!
After a long
gap, Kajol has made a dramatic entry through VIP-2 (2ND part of the
Dhanush starrer, Vellaiyilla Pattadhari that proved a smash hit at the
box-office) in which she has played a role with grey!
Kajol
doesn’t choose to subscribe to the fact that her character in the film has
negative shades. ‘It is about the clash f two individuals hailing from
different backgrounds holding different ideologies that are diametrically
different!’ says she as she adds, ‘I play Vasundra Parameshwar who is a
self-made woman. It was very much like my own self and hence I could do the
role with a lot of understanding!’
We hear, of course,
on a lighter vein that Dhanush and Soundarya (who has directed the film) met
her for narrating the script and her character in the film telling her that her
spoken words will be very minimal and that more of English words will be used!
‘But later I realized that it was all a lie and that there were too many words
in Tamil that she had to utter; all the same, they both helped me to deliver
them and at the end I was surprised to realize that I had done justice to the
language!’
How does he
choose her characters?
‘Every
character that I play needs to have a certain something inside me that I can
identify with! As a matter of fact, I have said no to roles with which I wasn’t
able to relate a bit!’
Kajol stills
relishes and cherishes the memories of shooting song sequences for the film,
‘Minsara Kanavu’ which she feels as one of the best choreographed scenes ever.
She also compliments A.R.Rahman for his absorbing work in that film!
Kajol is
full of praises for Dhanush who in her opinion is a fine actor. ‘He is very
natural ad spontaneous and we improvised a lot during our scenes of combination
were shot!’
It is
Soundarya’s second film and according to Kajol, she is very effective and
efficient as well!
‘She is very
talented and knows exactly what she wants from her cast. She plans it all so
well and goes about the task of execution in a disciplined manner!’ says Kajol
about Soundarya.
Kajol feels
that the industry has drastically changed and is currently functioning in a
typical corporate style. ‘It has become more of a joint effort these days and
hence there is no question of a few individuals taking credit for it all!’ she
remarks!
Kajol tells
us that she is open to doing films in Tamil provided the script is right and of
course, the team too matters for her! Presently, she is busy with a project in
Hindi being made under her home banner.
