Why does Swara feel luckyIJ
Swara Bhaskar,riding high on the success of her first solo hit Nil Battey Sannata, says the ‘typical boundaries’ between commercial and content-driven films are fading away. Asked if she prefers commercial or content-driven cinema more, Swara told IANS: “I think that any actor would prefer roles and work that gives them a chance to perform.” She added that films like Piku, Queen, NH10, Mardaani, and Nil Battey Sannata are all “content-high films” that have worked at the box office. “I think I’ve been lucky even in my commercial films where I've got the chance to play performance-heavy parts. After all, Bindiya from Raanjhanaa is remembered as a great role because it provided the opportunity for a certain kind of performance that was memorable,” Swara said.
