Highlights
- Actress Neha Dhupia whose last release was Dear Friend Hitler, will soon be seen opposite Emraan Hashmi in Raftaar.
- The film about media manoeuvring was directed by Shamin Desai but his sudden death brought it to a halt. It is now being released by Percept Pictures by the end of this year.
- "I am very excited about my upcoming film Raftaar opposite Emraan Hashmi. It was good working with him. He is a great actor," Dhupia told PTI.
- Her solo career hasn't taken off in the industry with flops like Sheesha, Julie, Ek Chalis Ki Last Local but Dhupia has found a place in multi-starrers like Action Replayy, Mithya, Phas Gaye Re Obama and Dasvidaniya'.
- The actress, however, is happy with the way her career has taken shape.
- "I do films which have soul and don't just blindly run behind money and big directors. I do work which I think is good and satisfies me. I think at the end of the day that is what matters. I know people who work in 100 crore budget films but are not to be seen after that. I am happy the way my career has shaped and with the kind of work I have done." The actress also feels that success is not limited to box office.
- "I don't know how to categorise success. My films might not be a hit at box office but some people watch it and like it. Isn't that success in its own way? I don't let myself down if my movie doesn't do well, if I lose faith in myself no one will stand by me," Dhupia added.
- Talking about the failure of My Friend Hitler, she said the Indian audience are not ready for such films. "The film was great and I had put in all hardwork in it. I just think our audience is not ready for such scripts."
