A LARGE NUMBER OF research has gone into the film and my role," the actress said.

I USED TO BE nervous. 3D is just a little different. This is a little different in emoting also. First two days were a bit of tricky but I got used to it."
She said her return to cinema was not a planned move and she or he desires to take things as they arrive. "I BEGAN as a struggler then became an actress of masses after which classes. That have been the case with me. I'VE always taken chances. I'VE no plan and wish to take movies that touch my heart."
