I don’t have enough expertise about production: Parineeti Chopra

Parineeti Chopra says she wants to gain “more knowledge” before producing films or setting up companies.

Over the past few years, a number of Bollywood actresses have gotten into film production. But Parineeti Chopra has no such plans as yet.

“Right now, I am focusing only on acting and singing, which I am going to start doing Meri Pyaari Bindu (MPB) onwards. I don’t want to do anything else right now as I want to gather more knowledge. I don’t have enough expertise to produce (movies) or set up companies. I will do it when the time is right and when I have enough skills,” she says.

Parineeti, whose last film release was Kill Dil (2014) says she never felt she had distance from acting even during her break. “In fact, after a couple of hours (on the sets of MPB), I was like, ‘Oh, I am back on a film set.’ That’s because I was shooting for many ads. It felt good to be back on a film set and play a character. Now, I am in the flow again. I know Ayushmann (Khurrana; actor), Akshay (Roy; director) and Maneesh (Sharma; producer) well. It is a great, young crew, so I felt really good,” she says.

Parineeti Chopra worked with Arjun Kapoor in her breakthrough film, Ishaqzaade.
