I am a difficult person to cast: Simi Garewal

"I am a difficult person to cast. I don't know what roles filmmakers will be able to offer me. I would love to act in films again... acting is my first love. I have been getting offers but nothing tempting or attractive to captivate me," she said.

Simi says there have been lot of changes in the way things function today in the film industry.

"There are tremendous changes that have come in the film industry like technology wise, storytelling, diverse films are made today, our films match international standards, there are roles and subjects for everyone. I am enjoying watching films," she said last night during a press conference of Indian Film Festival of Melbourne awards.

Simi, who is on the jury of Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, is all praise for actress Vidya Balan.

"I think she was wonderful in 'The Dirty Picture'...not many actors would have been able to do this film. She can do diverse films like 'The Dirty Picture', 'Kahaani' etc," Simi said.

Simi Garewal set to return on big screen

Says a source, “When the makers approached her, she was taken aback. It has been nearly three decades since she has acted in a film. It was an out of the blue offer for her, but with interesting scripts being made into films now, this was a new challenge for her.”

Adds the source, “Things are in the initial stages right now, so everyone concerned is tight-lipped about the project. They don’t want any names to be revealed at this juncture as the makers want to make an announcement once things are finalised.”

It is learnt that Simi will be essaying a pivotal role in the film. Considering that she is known for her trademark white attire, it remains to be seen how she will step out in her Bollywood film avtar.
