Hindi films lack good plot, says Gul Panag
3 July 2013 1:41 AM IST
Gul Panag, mostly seen in off-beat films, feels that the scripts of Hindi movies lack story and structure.
The former Miss India started her acting journey with critically acclaimed off-beat film Dhoop, based on a true story, and was appreciated for her work in films like Dor, Manorama Six Feet Under, and Turning 30.
The actress, not seen in Hindi movies for a while, launched Atulya Mahajan’s book Amreeka Desi.
When asked whether the book could provide a good plot for a movie, she said: ‘I don’t know because Hindi movies don’t normally have good plots.’
‘I do hope there are people out there who understand that films need to have a beginning, an end and a story, which doesn’t seem to be the case, unfortunately,’ added the 34-year-old.
Having said that, Gul feels content-wise Amreeka Desi is apt for film adaptation.
‘So, if there were any takers who really want to make a film that was tight, that had an interesting structure, which was telling a compelling story, I think they would buy the rights to this book. I think it has the potential to make a good film,’ Gul said.
She will soon be seen in Punjabi film Sarsa.
The actress was last seen in Fatso which released in 2012 along with Ranvir Shorey and Purab Kohli.
