Bollywood actor Jackky Bhagnani might not have had a successful run in the Hindi film industry, but looks like actress Nidhi Subbaiah is all set to change that. The lovely actor, who’s already made her name in the Kannada film industry, is going to star opposite him in Sanjay Gadhvi’s (of Dhoom fame) Ajab Gazabb Love.
“This is the big league,” says Nidhi, “with Vashu Bhagnani as the producer, they’ve pulled out all stops to make this one an out-and-out commercial potboiler. A romantic comedy, Ajab Gazabb Love is a remake of a Telugu super hit and I am totally looking forward to having a great time working for this one.”
In spite of the fact that she has to perform alongside actors that include Kirron Kher, Arjun Rampal, Arshad Warsi and Darshan Jariwala, Nidhi isn’t a bit frazzled or nervous.
"The whole temperament on the sets is different. I think the Hindi film industry has the whole ‘buddy system’ in place; there’s obviously mutual respect for each other but the air is generally casual and one can feel at ease without having to try too hard,” adds the actor.
Moving to Bollywood wasn’t an easy decision for Nidhi as she says she’d like to continue working in Kannada films, but there’s a condition. “The script has to be really good. And of course if a director like Yogaraj Bhat asks me to work in his film, I’d agree readily because I know his films are good. In fact, even in Bollywood I didn’t sign the first film that came my way. I did think and considered it carefully before signing up,” Nidhi says. If all goes well, Ajab Gazabb Love might be the one that gets Nidhi more films in the future. “I would like to do different kinds of films here but I don’t want to take whatever comes my way because one has got to be careful,” signs off the actor.
