Mumbai: After Bollywood actresses Lara Dutta and Dia Mirza, Hrishitaa Bhatt has also turned producer but the actress says the transition is not an attempt to revive her acting career. Having made her debut opposite Shahrukh Khan in Asoka (2001), Hrishitaa's career-graph did not go very far. The actress has now turned producer for the upcoming film Shakal Pe Mat Jaa.
"It is not necessary that actresses venture into film production, only when they stop getting certain kind of roles or scripts. Also, it is not necessary to act in films that you produce," Hrishitaa told PTI in an interview. For this actress-turned-producer, getting into film production was always on her mind and was a corollary of acting.
"I had always wanted to get into production. It is a gradual change from modeling to acting to production. Every actor intends to get either into direction or production," she said.
"There was a time, when only actors used to venture into film production. But today, even actresses are doing it. Besides, exploring other aspects of filmmaking, there is a business sense attached to it," she added. After being a model, Hrishitaa eventually moved to Bollywood to try her luck into acting. Even though her Bollywood debut was alongside superstar Shahrukh Khan, it was
Tigmanshu Dhulia's Haasil (2003) that brought major turn into her career. She received acclaim for her role in Ram Gopal Varma's Ab Tak Chappan (2004).
