Waluscha De Sousa on lookout for good scripts

Post her debut with superstar Shah Rukh Khan in "Fan", model-turned-actress Waluscha De Sousa says she wants to be challenged as an actor and would pick her next project on the basis of "good script and good character".

"It will always be a good script and good character. That is important... I want to be challenged as an actor. I want to do great cinema and great characters. Everything else is secondary," Waluscha told IANS over phone from Mumbai.

After sashaying on the ramp as a model and then putting her professional life on the back burner for her family, Waluscha decided to take the leap into Hindi filmdom with "Fan".

Directed by Maneesh Sharma and produced by Yash Raj Films, the movie, which released on April 15, featured Shah Rukh in a double role -- one as a superstar and the other his look-alike fan Gaurav. Waluscha plays SRK's real wife Gauri Khan on the silver screen.

The 31-year-old is going through some scripts.

She said: "There are things that are exciting me but until things are completely locked I would rather not say anything."
