Word of mouth will boost Ugly: Surveen Chawla

Directed by Anurag Kashyap, Ugly releases Friday - a week after Aamir Khan-starrer PK hit the screens - and set the cash registers ringing at the Bollywood box office. While Surveen admits both films cater to different sets of audience, she is hopeful Ugly will grow.

“I am a huge fan of Rajkumar Hirani and both the films are extremely different. The audience of Ugly is not same as that of PK. Ugly is film is for the niche audience. There is a different set of people who want to watch Anurag’s films,” Surveen said.

Ugly features Rahul Bhatt, Ronit Roy, Girish Kulkarni, Siddhanth Kapoor and Tejaswini Kolhapure in key roles. 

Talking about her role in the film, Surveen, who started her career from the small screen, said: “My role is little grey and my character is that of a crazy girl. She is not a straight-faced woman. 

Every character is little bitchy and dark an this film. I am playing a C-grade item girl, who is very selfish and greedy. Hopefully, people will like it.”
