Kareena’s ‘100 Expressions’ Had No Place In ‘Daayra’Thanks To Meghna Gulzar

MUMBAI-Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film ‘Daayra’, opened up about her restrained performance in the movie, saying director Meghna Gulzar repeatedly asked her to hold back.

Joking about her expressive personality, Kareena said she had barely got an opportunity to display her trademark over-the-top side in the film, where she plays a police officer.

“I am very expressive. You must be aware that I have given 100 expressions on the trailer launch,” Kareena quipped.

Explaining her exaggerated expressions at the trailer launch, she added, “Because I didn’t get a chance in the film, so I didn’t launch the trailer.”

Kareena said her role required her to remain restrained, with much of her performance taking place while sitting behind a desk and interviewing other characters.

“Because I have held on to the character a lot in the film, I was always sitting because as a police officer, I had a table in front of me. So I was always interviewing when I was with the other actors,” she said.

“The camera was always on my face. But my legs were always like this,” Kareena said, enacting her legs shaking. “When will that expression of a Bebo come? And she (Meghna) would be like, no,” she said, describing how Gulzar kept her character’s performance in check.

“So I think it has brought a different dimension to my personality,” Kareena said.

The movie is set to release on September 18. (IANS)
