All my characters in multi-starrers were indispensable: Lara

“I feel that if you take away any character from a multi-starrer film,then there would be something missing. The characters really added a lot to the films. Certain characters do stay with the audience…no one has forgotten the character of ‘Kajal’,(a suspicious wife) from ‘No Entry’,” she said.

“I cannot be foolish,just awaiting solo roles. Why should I burn my time sitting at home for want of single heroine-kind roles,the 31-year-old actress asked.

“Every single actor wants to do a solo film…where the project is on them…where they can carry it on their shoulders. Even I want to do a solo film. Tomorrow if Sajid comes and offers me a multi-starrer film,I would be a fool to reject it,” she said.

The former beauty queen will be sharing screen space with stars like Akshay Kumar,Deepika Padukone,Jiah Khan,Ritesh Deshmukh,Arjun Rampal and Boman Irani in ‘Housefull’,yet another multi-starrer scheduled to be released on April 16.

Directed by Sajid Khan,’Housefull’ is about a man named Arush (Akshay Kumar) who gets caught in crazy situations all because he has a deep dark secret — he has three wives.

Lara,who essays the role of Hetal in the film,said,”I play the character of a Gujarati girl. She is married to Akshay and Riteish. She comes to London to study and falls in love with a man,whom her father (Boman Irani) can’t stand.

Her aim is that her father,who stays in Ahmedabad,accepts the man she has married.”

The actress has earlier been a part of many multi-starrers like ‘No Entry’,’Partner’,’Do Knot Disturb’ and ‘Bhagam Bhaag’ among others.

The former Miss Universe,who is also penning a script,said she would love to produce or direct a film.

“I’m writing a script. I would like to produce or direct a film… but for that I need to be prepared and well equipped,” she added.
