Bollywood Gossip: Paoli Dam created quite a stir when her Bengali film Chatrak hit screens, as she had done a baring act in it. But that film worked to her advantage, says Paoli, who landed her first Bollywood film shortly after.
Vikram Bhatt’s latest flick ‘Hate Story’ featuring Paoli Dam became a talking point after the makers released the first poster featuring a semi-nude woman with her back turned towards the audience. It was later revealed that the woman in the poster is Paoli.“I had no idea that my character and my identity on the poster would be kept a mystery. When the poster featuring my back was released, a lot of people who knew I was doing the film asked me who was on the poster. I just asked them to wait and watch,” says Paoli Dam while talking to reporters. So, is there a lot of nudity in the film? “I am a performer and when I bare all, it is only for my job. As an actor, I have no inhibitions; I just play a character. But yes, if I am not comfortable with something, I will not do it,” she maintains.
The buzz is that Paoli is also doing an international film called ” Choli Ke Peeche”, in which she has a lot of nude scenes. This film was apparently offered to Shahana Goswami and then Nandana Sen. Both actors refused it because of the nudity involved.
Though Paoli has been a part of good projects in Bengali cinema, working in Bollywood is a different ball game altogether. “Bollywood films are commercial and they are larger than life. The glamour quotient here is more and so is the mass appeal,” says Paoli Dam.
