Want to get abusive on screen: Tisca Chopra

She's "done with crying" and wants to get abusive on the screen, says Tisca Chopra who will be seen in a pivotal role in forthcoming film "Ankur Arora Murder Case".


"Now I am done with crying and want to give 'gali galoch' on the screen. I want to get abusive on the screen. I want to play a bad person," Tisca told reporters here.

Talking about her choice in playing a toughie on the screen, she said: "As far as bad roles are concerned, I am dying to do a tough role where I can get to play a cop or a detective like Kiran Bedi."

Produced by Vikram Bhatt, "Ankur Arora Murder Case" is a medical thriller, where Tisca plays mother to the protagonist Ankur Arora who dies due to medical negligence.

Earlier she had played mother to a dyslexic child in "Taare Zameen Par" and won accolades for her performance.

"I have become an expert in handling troubled children (on the screen). But for this film, first I had said no to Vikram as it was emotionally draining. It's a well-written script and was difficult to play," she said.

However, no more such roles for the 39-year-old.

"I am not so keen to do very serious again," she said and added: "I would also like to do a fun comedy, where funny things are happening all around, life is funny enough."

Directed by Suhail Tattari, "Ankur Arora Murder Case" is slated for a June 14 release.

Arjun Mathur, Kay Kay Menon, Vishakha Singh and Tisca Chopra will be seen in important roles in the film.

Tisca Chopra turns scriptwriter

Bollywood actress Tisca Chopra, who was in Bangalore for her husband's book launch recently, seems to have taken to writing herself. "I'm done writing my book, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Indian Film Industry, and will be launching it by the end of this year," she says. Tisca also tells us, "I'm working on a script now. It's a genre that's not explored much in Indian cinema — a personality drama, probably like an As Good as It Gets. I'm working on this with director Suhail Tatari."

While her writing endeavours are taking flight gradually, the actress has an interesting couple of films lined up this year as well. Her next, Ankur Arora Murder Case will see her donning the role of a mother yet again, but with a twist. And following that will be Anup Singh's Indo-European film Qissa, opposite Irrfan Khan. "Qissa, for me was a huge growth as an actor because I learnt a different aspect of acting — the art of doing nothing, yet communicating everything," says Tisca. The actress, who seems to be both intrigued and impressed by intense scripts that make a quick connect with the audience, has another Indian-international venture lined up, she reveals.
