Once labeled as the sexy diva of Bollywood, sensuous Urmila Matondakar has now moved past her raunchy image.
Urmila has of late become very choosy about the films she wants to do in Bollywood. The usual bump grind stuff and the mushy romances don’t enthuse her anymore. So the actress has been very cautiously picking up meaty roles only.
While Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi's partition drama Pinjar is ready to hit the theatres and has already been received well at this year’s IFFI, Urmila is anxiously looking forward to Ramgopal Varma's urban thriller Ek Hasina Thi.
Another film that will see Urmila in a challenging role is Khalid Mohammad’s Tehzeeb that has her playing the daughter to Shabana Azmi.
Also add to the list Tanuja Chandra's English film which will be a love story set against the backdrop of the 9/11 tragedy.
“It's a very sensitive film,” says Urmila who seem to have come of age as an actress.
