B-town debut for Sargun Mehta

Actress Sargun Mehta, who is already known in the Punjabi film industry and was recently seen in her home production Saunkan Saunkne, is all set to make her Bollywood debut soon.

The actress will be seen in a Bollywood film called Mission Cinderella, which stars Akshay Kumar. “It’s very important to wait for the right role, no matter where you are stepping in, especially when you are going into a new medium. The audience will perceive you in a certain way.

So, is Bollywood quite different from the Punjabi film industry? She adds, “The Punjabi industry is still very raw. Frankly, that is also working for the industry. It’s upcoming since it’s evolving, we are still trying to find out what people like.”

The actress says she was quite anxious and excited as well. “I was so scared at first. I was excited because it was my first project in Bollywood and that too with Akshay sir. Everything was giving me the jitters and I can’t begin to tell you how I gave my first shot. I thought I would collapse. It was a rough and tough role,” she shares.

To prepare for the role, Sargun made sure she did not watch cops on screen. “I just feel when you watch a lot of something, you tend to copy and make a caricature out of it. I wanted to do whatever comes to me naturally,” she concludes. — IANS
