Being a leading lady in Vishesh Films is special. If the role is author backed, sky is the limit for a girl who kick starts her career with a film coming from the house of Bhatts. Kangna had a first hand experience with Gangster and hasn't looked back ever since. Mallika Sherawat too got a re-launch of sorts with Murder but couldn't quite capitalise on that. Now is the turn of Neha Sharma who begins her Bollywood sojourn with Crook. While one waits to see which way does the pretty girl go from here, Joginder Tuteja catches up with her on the eve of the film's release and has a quick round of Q & A before she gets ready for her big anxious moment.

Quite a few debutant girls try to go through a drastic change in their very first outing, whether in terms of looks or their roles, in order to make that big first impression. You seem to be playing safe though by appearing a young contemporary NRI girl in Crook'. A conscious move for your first ever Bollywood flick?
Absolutely. There is time for experimentation and with age on my side, I would rather start with playing someone who is closer to me rather than get into something overtly complicated. In Crook, I am playing an Australian girl belonging to Indian origin. But then again, she isn't one of those NRIs that is projected in most films of today where she get into a complete designer avtar with Western accent and all. Here she is modern, yet simple and understands her roots while her values are intact. She is not someone who can be taken for a ride though and knows where to put a stop when someone tries to act a little too fresh. crook film
