Sridevi doesn't like going for retakes
Mumbai, Nov 14 (PTI) With every film and character thatshe plays on-screen, it's her obsession to get it perfectat a go and that makes Sridevi believe that she is a one-takeactor.
"I don't remember doing more than one take for a film.
I think the first take is best as you are spontaneous andafter that it becomes a mechanical thing. I don't believe insecond take at all," Sridevi says in an interview with PTI.
For the "Chaalbaaz" actor it is the quality of a rolethat is of utmost importance to her.
"I feel lucky and I have to thank my writers, directorsand producers for giving me great part's to play on screen.
There is good quality (work around). I don't want to do filmsjust because I have to do it. I am already busy at home, Ienjoy being at home. I have two daughters. If there issomething out of the box and good then only I do it," Sridevisays.
The noted actor seems to be critical of her as shesays she is never happy with her own work. But with her latest"Mom" she knew things were going right.
"The reaction was positive during the trial of thefilm ('Mom'). We knew we did not go wrong anywhere technicallyand story wise. I am happy seeing the audience reaction tothe film and the character.
"When I look back I think I could have done this sceneor that better. I am not satisfied with my work at all. Ithink I could have done better. I am never satisfied," sheadded.
"Mom" is a revenge drama portraying a mother's valourand the length she is willing to get justice for her child.
The "Sadma" actor says, both as an artiste and as amother in real life, she personally felt the rage and agonythat her character 'Devki' underwent in the film.
"The character hit me strongly. It (character) is fullof emotions, it is all about emotions and feeling them. Iwithdraw myself as an actor from everything on the sets. I didnot plan to be aloof or not talk to anybody, it (story) didnot allow me to do it.
"When I am doing a role like this it was impossiblefor me to be in a normal space. I hope this incident neverhappens with anybody. My doctor told me I was a differentperson during and after the shooting the film."The film will premiere on November 18 on &Pictureschannel. For Sridevi "Mom" was not just another film, it wasmore of an emotional experience.
"For me whether it is a theatre or TV premiere it isthe same excitement. This film has been really close to me andmy heart as a mother." PTI KKP JUR NRBSHD.
