After "Matrubhoomi", Tulip Joshi signs a global project

  • IndiaGlitz, [Monday,September 19 2005]

It takes a lot of grit and determination to take up a role in an offbeat film like "Matrubhoomi", when your career has just begun.

When Tulip Joshi signed the film, friends and well-wishers in the trade were sceptical whether she was making the right move in her career. She, however, went ahead with the project.

She claims the decision has paid off. Moreover, she has been confirmed for a major international project to be directed by a reckoned Indian filmmaker.

"You rarely get a second chance to play a role like the one that I played in 'Matrubhoomi'. It gave me an opportunity to showcase my acting skills in the very beginning of my career.

"In fact it was the exposure that the film got the world over that got me international offers. This is the first film (the international offer) that I was approached for and I have already confirmed it," she says.

She is cautious about divulging details of the project. "I have been asked strictly not to reveal anything yet, since the banner plans to make an official announcement in the next two months," she says.

There are two more films in the offing, one of them a crossover film and the other, a mainstream, commercial film.

"I do have a face to carry off a commercial role, as was evident in my first release, 'Dil Mange More'. I would have probably done more commercial films but I didn't want to rush into anything," she smiles.
