Kulraj Randhawa wants to be next SRK
Randhawa became a household name when she starred in Zee TV's Kareena Kareena in 2003.
Actress Kulraj Randhawa,who is making a transition from small screen to the celluloid with ‘Yamla,Pagla,Deewana’,wants to make it as big as superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
The actress says like SRK,who also started his career from TV shows like ‘Fauzi’ and ‘Circus’,she plans to play a long innings in the film industry.
“Yamla,Pagla,Deewana’ is a perfect launchpad for me. I don’t idolise much but Shah Rukh Khan is really hard working and made it big despite being from a non-filmy background. I feel I can make it big like him,” the Punjabi beauty said.
Randhawa who became a household name when she starred in Zee TV’s Kareena Kareena in 2003,believes that the movie,starring Deol family– Dharmendra,Sunny and Bobby– is perfect for her entry in Bollywood.
“I wanted to get everything right. I think it has been worth a wait. Yamla Pagla Deewana is a perfect launchpad,a complete Bollywood masala. It is a film for all tastes,” said the 27-year-old star.
The dimpled actress who has been paired opposite the Bobby says it has been wonderful to share screen space with Deol clan in her very first film.
“It has been an amazing experience. It was a trance for me to work with all the three Deols. Dharamji is a father figure to me and they all treated me like their own family member,” she said.
Randhawa plays the role of Sahiba,a professional photographer who travels around the world but finally falls in love with a conman from Benaras played by Bobby Deol.
“We got along very well. We broke the ice quite early before shooting during our workshop sessions and our chemistry
on screen is quite nice.”
Randhawa had approached the director of the movie Samir Karnik for another project but as he was looking for someone to play the female lead in YPD,he felt that she perfectly fitted the bill.
“When I showed him my pictures,he chose me to play the role of Sahiba. For me it is a dream come true,” said the actress who has also starred opposite Jimmy Shergill in ‘Tera Mera Ki Rishta’,a Punjabi movie. ‘Yamla,Pagla,Deewana’ released this Friday.
