While most actress go de-glam and take up non typical female roles after they have made a mark in the industry, for Dipa Shah, it has been the exact opposite. ���I had a very serious role as a trainee cop in my debut film
Yuddham Sei. But now, in my second film,
Sillunu Oru Santhippu, I���m playing a very girly role,��� says the actress.
She plays the lead opposite
Vimal in the film, which she says is a feel-good commercial film ���with lot of romance���.
Talking about her character, she says, ���I play a homely, reserved but strong-minded girl from Ooty, which is quite a contrast to my actual persona. Vimal���s character has an exact philosophy of life and love, but they still fall in love.���
But what has got her real excited is the fact that she will finally be doing what a regular heroine does ��� dance. ���I have two songs in the film and had loads of fun shooting for them,��� she quips. Though not a trained dancer, Dipa reveals that she is now learning Kathak in Mumbai from Viru Krishnaji, who has taught B-Town celebs including Katrina and
Priyanka Chopra.
