See the full conversation in the video below:
It all began when we asked Sara about what went wrong with ‘Love Aaj Kal’. Sara replied, “I don’t know what went wrong. If the audiences didn’t like it, there was a problem. But I loved working with Imtiaz Ali sir, we both worked very honestly. Hmmm… maybe people didn’t relate to my character, maybe they didn’t feel for her.
I had fun. It’s time to unlearn. Maybe people found my pitch too loud. Now going forward I don’t want to give any shot wherein I am not 100 per cent convinced about it.”
But isn’t her character in ‘Atrangi Re’ too loud, we cut in? She replied calmly, “I don’t agree. ‘Being loud’ is very subjective. It should just be that any emotion or expression should be justified. That you’ll see in ‘Atrangi Re’. If I am loud anywhere, it’s for a reason. It is the director’s duty to control me; that’s what Aanandji did, he asked me to play on the frontfoot.
So, Sara is clearly changing her approach towards acting. Without elaborating, Sara said, “Just a few things.”
And what went wrong with ‘Coolie No.1’? Sara took the question on her chin. “With a film like ‘Coolie No.1’, the audience was very different. It was quite a shift for me in terms of the audience I thought the film was being made for,” she quipped.
