Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon says she cannot sign any movie just for sake of doing it and instead focuses on choosing her roles with grace.
Raveena, who made an appearance in last year's "Bombay Velvet", feels there are certain roles she cannot pull off and wants to do films which touch her heart.
"I can't sign any movie just for the sake of doing it. I want to take up roles with grace, dignity and respect. One needs to grow with time and there are roles which I can't pull off now," she said in a statement.
"So one has to mature and evolve with age. I am open to any genre but nothing strikes me when it comes to choosing films. I always want to do movies on subjects which are closer to my heart," the 41-year-old added.
The National Film Award winning actress will be heard talking about her career on 92.7 BIG FM's show 'Kuch Panne Zindagi Ke' with host Madhurima Nigam. The show will air on March 13 between 9pm-11 pm.
Raveena will be next seen in filmmaker Onir's next "Shab".
The Delhi set drama is a love triangle and also stars actor Prosenjit Chatterjee's wife Arpita and Ashish Bisht, both in their Bollywood debut role.
"I recently finished shooting for 'Shab', which is a love triangle. I am playing a very impressive character with some shades of grey, a typical socialite who falls in love. Apart from that we will also start our shooting for 'Maatr'. The movie deals with violence against women," Raveena said.
