Actress Kalki Koechlin feels Bollywood believes that only an actor can make the right script choice and go for an experimental performance to break a stereotype.
When asked about how she deals with the way film industry tends to put a tag on actors, Kalki said;
“I have been typecast every time. While after ‘Dev D’, I got offers for many roles of a prostitute, people offered me roles of a spoiled brat and a physically disabled (character) after the release of ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ and ‘Margarita with a Straw’.”
“Therefore, I think you are only as old as your last film. However, it is my job to break that stereotype and choose the right script to change your image.”
Giving a better insight into it, Kalki said;
“I think all the characters in the film, including mine, go through quite a tumultuous journey where none of them talks about their problems with each other. Nevertheless, after a certain point of time, there is an emotional outburst. So, the story of this family is quite close to reality.”
