Lara has had an eventful 2009 so far.The 'reason' is, Lara didn't know how to swim, while major portions of ‘Blue’ were to be filmed in the ocean and swimming, therefore, was mandatory. "Not many people are aware that I had almost drowned while shooting for ‘Andaaz’. Akshay had rescued me," Lara enlightens me, "When I reminded Akshay I couldn't swim, he told me to forget my phobias and learn swimming pronto. Today, I feel ‘Blue’ has not merely made me overcome my phobias, but has also taught me something that would stay with me for the rest of my life."
Lara has had an eventful 2009 so far. First, the deglam look in ‘Billu’. Then, a hardcore comic fare in ‘Do Knot Disturb’. Now ‘Blue’. "It's been an interesting year. I had fun on the sets of ‘Do Knot Disturb’. Watching Govinda and Ritesh in comic scenes is a treat indeed and if you've to share screen space with them, it's great. You couldn't have asked for more," Lara says. The praises have been flowing in and Lara, obviously, is feeling on top of the world.
But ‘Blue’ is one film that Lara looks forward to with bated breath. "Blue is a first-of-its-kind film on Hindi screen. You haven't watched something like this before. You can only draw parallels with international films. I am sure, this film will make a huge impact not just in India, but also internationally," Lara feels strongly.
