, said that the film brought her a lot of offers in Bollywood and she intends to do at least three films a year.
“My debut film,
Rock On
, was a stepping stone and it was cult-ish but
Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai
was a life-changing experience. It was my first commercial, typical Bollywood film, and it opened different doors for me — with different roles and films,” says Prachi.
The actor, who shot to fame with Ekta Kapoor’s
Kasamh Se
, appeared in
Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai
with Ajay Devgan, Emraan Hashmi and Kangana Ranaut. “I am extremely choosy about my work. I am looking at projects that are younger and different from what I have done earlier. Now I am looking at doing two to four films a year or even more,” she says.
Talking about her forthcoming releases, Prachi says, “I have two films, one is tentatively titled
Joker
. It is directed by a new director Vikram Tuli and stars Rajeev Khandelwal and me in the lead. It’s a young film and should be out this year. Then I also have Shrishti Arya’s film with John Abraham.” About a rumour that she has turned down an on-screen kiss with John in the film, she says, “I don’t make a list of dos and don’ts. If the situation, my role, and the people involved in the film demand something, I will do it.”
