British actress Alice Patten makes her feature film debut in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Rang De Basanti . While she deems her Bollywood debut as a “right step”, she is not eager to work in another Hindi movie for some time at least.
Twenty-six year old Alice is looking forward to try different roles and genres that could further hone her skills as an actress. In her opinion, acting in ‘Rang De Basanti’ was “a step in the right direction”. However, she is not excited about the idea of working in another Bollywood movie immediately.
“It (Rang De Basanti) was my first feature film and I learned a lot…But going back to a Bollywood film immediately won't be a step in the right direction,” Alice is quoted by an entertainment website.
For the time being, Alice is looking forward to the release of ‘Rang De Basanti’ on January 26. After that, she will get busy in the West End play ‘Hamlet’ in which she plays the character of Ophelia.
In Bollywood, Alice has made a good number of friends, among them are the stars of ‘Rang De Basanti’ – Aamir Khan and Soha Ali Khan .
