'I have a sensual side'

Actress Aditi Rao Hydari, who was last seen in ‘London Paris New York’, says that she has explored her sensual side in her upcoming movie, ‘Murder 3’, starring Randeep Hooda in the lead. “I can be a sweet-looking innocent girl, but I have a sensual side to me, which I would love to explore. And I have done that in ‘Murder 3’. That is what actors are meant for. They just need to bring out things and do it effortlessly with fun,” Aditi says.

The previous films in the franchise had Emraan Hashmi in the lead. “I hope the film is a super hit. I hope ‘Murder 3’ does a lot of good things for me, so that I get good projects and work with brilliant directors and great actors. That is what I am wishing,” Aditi adds optimistically. The 34-year-old also says that post this movie, she does not want to be tagged as a ‘bold’ actress. “I think everybody has his or her own journey and tags. I think there is much more to me than just being bold. And I hope people will see that. Boldness is not the only thing in my personality — there is lot more. I don’t want to be tagged because then, you get put in a slot and can’t move away from it. I would feel claustrophobic and I don’t like that,” she explains.Aditi says she is grateful to the Bhatt camp for casting her in the successful franchise.

 “I am very grateful to Mukesh Bhatt, Vishesh Bhatt (director) and Mahesh Bhatt for considering me for this film. I had never imagined I would do ‘Murder 3’. In fact, when Mukesh ji called me for a story narration, I loved it and he asked if I would do it. And right then, I said yes,” she smiles. 

So, does she feel the pressure of being part of such a big project? “It’s not a burden at all. It’s a great joy and excitement. It’s good that more people will watch it. I hope I will have more fans, as that is what we live for,” the actress says frankly. The third edition of ‘Murder’ marks the directorial debut of Vishesh, son of producer Mukesh Bhatt, and is slated to release on February 15. The film also features Pakistani actress Sara Loren, who, besides Aditi, will be seen romancing Randeep.
