While Dia Mirza is open about almost everything, alleged misbehaviour by Rohit Roy is something she remains mum about.
How has the initial response to Dus Kahaniyaan been?
It’s been overwhelming. I’ve received many congratulatory calls. People have liked my performance in Zahir, one of the short films in the movie where I feature alongside Manoj Bajpai. Many people asked me if I was apprehensive of being lost amidst 25 actors in a cluster of 10 short films. But I knew that my role and film would stand out, and I’ve been proven right.
You seem to be sharing a great rapport with Sanjay Gupta and his White Feather CHK Films.
I relate to the kind of cinema that White Feather CHK is currently making. The subjects are exciting, intelligent and progressive. Initially, I was a bit apprehensive of taking up Dus Kahaniyaan but once I heard the concept I was completely bowled over. Sanjay asked me to choose from an option of three movies, Zahir, Pooranmashi and Lovedale, and I took the first one. Sanjay was very impressed with my acting.
What’s your next film Alibaug (by Gupta) all about?
It’s a story of relationships. There are nine characters in the movie. My character is romantically linked to her professor and their relationship sets a precedent for everyone else. I am cast opposite Sanjay Dutt.
How does it feel to be Sanjay Dutt’s heroine?
He is such an open and receptive person that it makes a fantastic experience to be his co-star. Our very first shot together was for an intimate scene where we are seen sharing the same bed. We shot it spontaneously and it happened only because he accepted me very well. When I laid my head on his chest for the first time, it felt as if I have done it for years.
Aren’t you looking forward to a film where you are the solo heroine?
Of course I am. But at the same time, I am happy to be playing one of the many interesting characters in a good film. There is no point acting in a film that has six songs and only a few scenes to my credit. I have been in such movies, but now I want to be remembered in cinema that will make me feel proud. I am acting in Krazzy 4, a sweet and funny film, with Arshad Warsi, Suresh Menon, Irrfan Khan and Rajpal Yadav. I will also be seen in Kunal Vijaykar’s comedy Fruit and Nut that features Cyrus Broacha and Boman Irani.
Coming to your personal life, are you single?
Yes. I have been happy and single for a while now. I have always been quite open about my relationships.
Is there any truth in the rumour that Rohit Roy misbehaved with you while shooting for Alibaug?
I don’t want to talk about it.
