Kainaz 'Bold' Motivala was flooded with offers of sex films

Actress Kainaz Motivala, who will soon be seen in the role of a chauffeur in "Challo Driver", says she chose this unusual role as she wanted to shed her bold image that she acquired after her debut film "Ragini MMS".

"That's exactly why I took up this film. After 'Ragini MMS' I was flooded with offers of similar roles - sex films, bold films. It had become Kainaz 'Bold' Motivala and I did not like that tag at all, and I had to get rid of that tag somehow," the 25-year-old actress said here Wednesday at a promotional press conference of the film.

"When I could have starred in 10 films, I decided I'd much rather wait and do one good film which will rid me of that tag because I didn't want to get typecast. The best thing about an actor is that you do something different everyday. I am open to any genre and I definitely don't want to do just one thing," she added.

She enjoyed playing the driver's role and says it was not at all difficult.

"Driving is a complete stress buster for me. Not in Mumbai, here it is more of a stress giver than a stress buster. But I do enjoy driving when the roads are empty," said Kainaz, who was also seen in small roles in "Paathshala" and "Wake Up Sid."

What was challenging was to play a Delhi girl convincingly.

"Preparing as a chauffeur was not a problem because I have been driving since I was 18. But I had to prepare, in the sense, this girl is from Delhi and Delhi girls are different from Mumbai girls in many ways. That is what I had to work on," said Kainaz.

Vickrant Mahajan plays the male lead and he has also directed "Challo Driver".

The film also stars Prem Chopra and Manoj Pahwa and hits theatres July 20.

Dangerous curves ahead: Kainaz Motivala turns chauffeur

'Ragini MMS' star Kainaz Motivala is portraying a female chauffeur in her upcoming film 'Challo Driver' 

Her Bollywood career may not be going at a great speed, but Kainaz Motivala is all set to add some pace to her onscreen portrayal — by playing a driver in her next! After Deepika Padukone played a no-nonsense cabbie in Bachna Ae Haseeno, Kainaz will don the chauffeur’s uniform in the film directed by debutant Vikrant Mahajan.

"I loved the script and the fact that it is not a usual, run-of-the-mill character. I liked the character of a Delhi girl looking for excitement and with a desire to prove a point to the sexist society," Kainaz said in a statement.

There was another factor that she loved about the film. "Since I knew driving, I had a lot of fun driving few of the best cars for the film," she added. 


The 25-year-old, who made her big screen debut in Wake Up Sid but was noted more for the horror-thriller Ragini MMS, says she instantly liked the character of a Delhi girl looking for excitement and with a desire to prove a point to the sexist society. 

Kainaz is glad that the role is not the usual run-of-the-mill character and will see the female lead taking control, and quite literally, in the driver’s seat.

“Whatever you do, at the end of the day, it’s the audience who decide your fate, ” she adds saying that she is trying her bit not to feel the pressure of expectations. On whether she knew how to drive before signing up for the film, Kainaz quips while laughing, “Of course, I did. What did you expect?”
