Rani Mukherji might have had two flops in Saawariya and Laaga Chunari Mein Daag but she is confident about the success of her forthcoming film, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic. Set to win the hearts as an angel in the film, she speaks to Trans World Features correspondent at length.

This is a new year and your first release this year.

I am all excited about my next film. I hope the audience like it. It's a different kind of film.

So are you nervous?

Come on…no way. I am rather all excited and confident. It has been a great experience working in a film. This type of a film has never been tried earlier in India.

Tell me what attracted you so much that you chose to play an angel in the film…

Of course the story line and my role. I have always tried to do something new for the audience… give them something new. This time too it wasn't different. I play an angel, which no other actress has played earlier in Indian films.

Does that mean you like experimenting?

I have always liked that and done that with my roles. I would rather say that I have been lucky. My directors have always come to me and offered me roles where I have got the chance to experiment.

So how did you go about playing an angel? Experimented a lot…

It was mainly improvisation as there was no set pattern. No one has seen an angel, so we don't know how they talk or walk. So it was completely imagination and improvisation.

And you enjoyed a lot doing that…

Oh yes… that was an experience (laughs). I did all the stunts myself. In fact you won't believe the stuntman got crazy. They generally get more to work with the heroes but this time it was only me who did the stunts. He hardly got a chance to work with Saif…

Okay.. Coming to Saif, you team up with Kunal and Saif once again after Hum Tum and Tara Rum Pum…

That is when your job becomes easy. Kunal is extremely supportive. We all know each other well. Since there wasn't much I could prepare myself for the role of an angel it was Kunal who used to guide me but at the same time he also gave me the room.

There were times when I completely surprised him by doing something on my own. It always helps when you work with friends.
