Rangeela girl

With two films — Karzz and EMI — hitting the screens within a fortnight, we might hazard a guess that this is Urmila Matondkar’s comeback year. But ask Matondkar (below) and the once-Rangeela girl would shrug: “I was never out of the scene. It was just that the scripts were not appealing enough. I don’t do films just because I have to be in the limelight.”

In EMI, which will be released on November 7, Matondkar plays a widow who needs a personal loan to make ends meet, after her husband commits suicide. “It is very different from my role of a vamp in Karzz,” said Matondkar, dressed in a flowing green dress. The actor might not have had a string of box-office hits but has evidently been spared the need to take a loan in real life. And if she is to be believed, the film has ensured that she will never take one in future.

“I never knew there was a thriving underground business of recovery agents,” she rolled her eyes in disbelief. Now with two films down, she is all set to let her hair down and go home to celebrate Diwali.
