'Yoddha' director launches new heroine in road movie

Shutia gangrape-based gritty flick Proloy director Raj Chakrorborty's 'Borbaad' features new face Ritika, having starred in blockbuster '100 per cent Love' but she would love to launched on a scale a la Kareena Kapoor in Bollywood film 'Refugee' or Subhas Ghai's female leads.
"No sir, you can't say I am being launched as a new face in this movie where a Bike is the real character not me. Launching means introducing someone on a lavish scale, But we always don't like to be launched that way. Stripped of glamour and gloss, in a more realistic mould. Everything should be symmetrical.

"That's what my character as the support-system of a bike freak is in Borbaad, a level headed girl who comes to the aid of her friend when his long time companion Bike goes missing one day. Very different from the masala, hatke, Pop-Cornish '100 per cent Love' where I did kiddish acts," Ritika told PTI about her role.
Ritika who confirms having fallen 'in love' with Rajda, gushes "He is one person every youngster would idolise. Prochondo preme para jay or sathe kaj korte korte (you would wish you fall in love with such a person as the shoot progresses). He becomes close with his unit members, a man with funny bones who can always be up to some pranks when he is not serious behind the lens, and he is very chilled out and encouraging. A director with lots of positivity."

Terming Borbaad as a romantic thriller, she says, "It has romance, comedy, underworld all rolled into one." Borbaad, produced by Shri Venkatesh Films, will be released in August.
