Hot Payal Rohatgi is known more for dropping her clothes before the camera. But Madhur Bhandarkar’s next movie would see her in a different role.
“There is nothing sexier than smoke billowing out of a woman’s mouth,” says actor Gene Hackman in a dialogue from the Hollywood movie ‘Heartbreakers’. It may hold true for Payal Rohatgi, the Bollywood siren who plays a chain smoker in Madhur Bhandarkar ’s movie Corporate .
In the film, Payal plays an actress who smokes endlessly.
Enacting the role was certainly not a cakewalk for Payal as she doesn’t smoke in real life.
“I don’t smoke in real life. So polishing off ten cigarettes in a day was quite a task. There was quite a bit of coughing!” Payal is quoted as saying by an entertainment website.
Anyway, Payal is now eager to move beyond the sexy roles and prove her mettle at acting as well.
‘Corporate’ is going to be Bhandarkar’s exposé of the business world. The movie stars Bipasha Basu as an entrepreneur. Others in the cast include Kay Kay Menon and Minissha Lamba .
