Nidhhi Agerwal is making her debut in ‘Munna Michael’. The film is directed by Sabbir Khan and also stars Tiger Shroff and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
It was difficult for Nidhhi Agerwal to bag her debut project with no connection in the film industry, but the actress says the real battle lies in sustaining and getting work after the first movie.
In an interview she says, “I have no film connection, I come from a business family. It was tough to get in here but it isn’t like it has become easy now. Earlier I used to think ‘oh I’ll get a film then everything will be great’. It doesn’t work like that.”
“Once you get a film, the pressure, the stress increases after that. It never lessens. You have to do well, there are expectations from people. The other side is of the paparazzi too, so you have to look decent all the time. But I am enjoying all of this.”
On being asked what she is feeling after doing her first film, the 24-year-0ld actress replies, “I’ve been waiting for years to get into acting. I am very nervous because I want to do a good job and I hope people like me. When I see myself on the posters, in the trailers, I feel so happy that I got an opportunity to be here and do what I wanted.”
Talking about his co-stars Tiger Shroff and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Nidhhi tells, “I never tried to compete with them in a scene. I was focusing on what I had to do. Tiger helped me a lot and we got along really well. With Nawaz sir, I used to just observe him, how he approached his scenes and performed”.
“When I saw the set on first day… it was huge, and I had to dance, which was my introduction shot. I got so nervous that despite being a dancer, I couldn’t do it. I had to then calm myself down and focus on the shot. Later I started enjoying it,” she says talking about her first day of the shoot.
The film, directed by Sabbir Khan, is scheduled to release on July 21.
