In an interview with Express India, Ayesha talks about her experience of Sunday.
After Dor and No Smoking, one would expect you to act in ‘meaningful’ movies.
Sunday is an entertainer but it offered me a lot of scope in terms of acting. I play an artist who gives voiceovers for cartoon characters. It’s a very cute role but I had to work very hard on my voice. On the other hand, in No Smoking, I didn’t have much to do. I took up the movie because of my friendship with Anurag Kashyap and its wacky story. I want to act in all kinds of films. While I can boast of my serious films 20 years down the line, light movies are welcome now.
Were you nervous working with top-rung actors like Ajay Devgan in Sunday and Salman Khan in Boney Kapoor’s Pokhiri?
Not much. Salman is very sweet and patient. Ajay hardly has starry airs about him and is very comfortable with people who don’t have any connection with films.
What other films are you doing?
Apart from Sunday and Pokhiri, there is Nagesh Kukunoor’s big-budget, psychological thriller Eight By Ten, in which I’ll be cast opposite Akshay Kumar. I will also be seen in
Sunday is a comedy thriller and this is not Ayesha’s first comedy movie; still, she admitted that doing comedy was not easy for her. For her role as a dubbing artist in the movie, she had to watch lots of cartoon.
“Yes absolutely. Believe me comedy is no laughing matter for an actress, in fact it’s tougher to do than a dramatic role,” she asserts. “I had to be loud because, in general, animated characters are pretty lively and over the top. I must have watched hundreds of cartoon movies beforewe started filming.”
Her parents thought she had regressed into her childhood because she would only watch cartoon movies for weeks.Voice modulation — to sound like the Disneyesque animal toons—was part of her coaching.
Ayesha will turn 23 this year. Though she has not been able to establish herself as a successful actress, she proved that she could act. She is waiting for the big hit which would turn her career and make her an A-list heroine in Bollywood. Is Sunday going to be that movie for Ayesha? Let's hope for the best.
