The 'Sardarni' in Singh Is Kinng...

So what's the first thing that comes to your mind when we say NEHA DHUPIA. Chances are that more than 80 per cent of you thought of Julie irrespective of the fact whether you've watched the movie. And for the remaining 20 per cent it would have been the second thought. The first being 'unpublishable' on a portal that does not support adult content…like this one.

And guess what, the actress is back to playing Julie again. And this time with Akshay Kumar. Well, don't get your hopes too high…Julie is just the name of her character in her forthcoming film Singh Is Kinng. Suggested by the actress herself (for comic effect according to her) the name of her character was effectively changed from Rosy to Julie for this Anees Bazmee film. Will the change have any effect on the masses or will the film have any effect on Neha's career however remains to be seen.

We had a chat with Neha prior to the release of her big film in an interview that started almost two hours after the scheduled time. And here's what she had to say…

Tell us more about your character Julie in Singh Is Kinng…

Well, Julie is a dreamer. She aspires to be a Bollywood actress and thinks that being a part of a Punjabi gang will pave her way to filmdom.

So was it tough being Julie again? Since the audience relate Neha Dhupia and Julie with something completely different...

It is a challenge to take on the same name and do it differently…And make it work.

Are you a villain/vamp in the film?

I am a part of a gang. They obviously do bad things in the beginning. But eventually they become good people.

Would you rather be a glam doll or a vamp?

It depends. On the kind of role and everything.

...By this time almost two minutes were up. So obviously, her two make up and hair people rushed forth to fluff up her hair. She thought it was looking rather flat. And also refixed her lashes. Don't get scared people, it was not a biology lab we were having the interview in. The makeup man simply re-glued the synthetic eye lashes. The real ones were somewhere underneath...
