Ameesha's in it to win it!

Ameesha Patel is in the news after bagging a coveted role in the much-anticipated sequel to Race. She's happy about her upcoming role, and why wouldn't she be? She finally got a decent gig! Whew! No more dancing at parties....for a while at least. She sat down with TOI and answered their *hard-hitting* questions:

How does it feel to be part of a successful franchise like "Race"?
It feels phenomenal. It's a great feeling. "Race 2" is a big film to be associated with. This year has been amazing for me, from turning producer to going back to working with Abbas-Mustan. I am also thrilled to be working with Saif after "Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic". The sequel is steamier, racier, and with more twists and turns.  Wow, we're shaking in our boots!!

How did this role come to you?
I've worked with Abbas-Mustan and Ramesh Taurani before. Since I have a great working relationship with the entire team, it was something that I accepted in a heartbeat. That, and she needed a job more than anything. All her appearances at events and parties haven't been for the hell of it. AP's been trying to bag this role for a while!

Tell us about your character.
I play a super sexy, glamorous girl. I can't reveal much, but this is definitely one of the most exciting roles I have done. Hmm...and what would constitute as the other 'exciting' roles? 

You are sharing screen with Deepika Padukone and Sonakshi Sinha. Will there be friction on the sets?
Not at all. I'll kill 'em if they f*ck with me! We get along like a house on fire. I am very friendly with Sonakshi as I have met her at Salman's place a couple of times. Deepika is someone I am looking forward to work with. We will have a great time and it is a superb star cast. I will be sharing most of my scenes with the girls, so there is a lot of anticipation and excitement.

What is happening on your production front?
There's a lot happening. There are projects planned with David Dhawan and Priyadarshan. Also, Kunal (Goomer) has been a great support with his amazing business sense. He's a trustworthy partner and we have some amazing things lined up. So in other words...nothing!
