Khushbu Sundar expresses regret in being part of Rajinikanth starrer Annaatthe and says, ‘I became a caricaturish...’
In a recent interview, actress-politician Khushbu Sundar expressed her regret about acting in the movie Annaatthe starring Rajinikanth and Nayanthara.
Khushbu Sundar recently revealed that she now regrets acting in Rajinikanth starrer Annaatthe. In her interview, the actress was asked about any films she wished she was not part of.
Highlighting how her filmography in Hindi is limited to having such regrets, the actress expressed there are several Tamil movies she now wishes to have not been part of. Speaking more on the same, Khushbu Sundar, in an interview with Vickey Lalwani, said, “A recent example is the movie that I did with Rajinikanth sir. The role didn’t turn out like it was sold to me. Eventually, there was no pairing with Rajini sir for me.”
Talking more about the film, Khushbu refrained from mentioning the title and revealed that initially, the movie was supposed to feature herself and actress Meena as potential heroines.
Despite the story initially being conveyed like that, the actress admitted to accepting the project, keeping in mind that no other actress was paired with Rajinikanth in the film. The actress continued, “As the project progressed, Rajini sir suddenly got a heroine, and a character was pushed into it. Then I felt... I became a caricaturish character.”
Khushbu added that initially the film was supposed to have her character as a happy-go-lucky, comical, and fun-loving person. Moreover, after seeing the film during its dubbing session, she felt very disappointed by it.
