"Mallika plays the 'Nagin' in the film and therefore she is featured prominently in the publicity material.

"My role though small gives me plenty of opportunity to display my skills as an actor and the kind of attention I received with small roles in my previous films I really don't need to feel insecure," Dutta told PTI in an interview.

Dutta who debuted with 1994 film 'Ishq Mein Jeena Ishq Mein Marna' had to wait for a good decade before getting noticed in the 2004 hit 'Veer-Zaara' which won her a Filmfare nomination in the 'Best Supporting Actress' category.

The actress captured audiences heart with her role of a Pakistani maid 'Shabbo' in the Shah Rukh Khan Preity Zinta starrer romantic flick.

While 'Veer Zaara' gave her a fresh lease of life it was Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra's 'Delhi 6' that helped her break the 'Girl Next Door' image.

"Life changed after Veer Zaara and post 'Delhi 6' I have been offered characters which were earlier considered too bold for me," said the 33-year-old actress.
