Mumbai, July 31 Actress Chitrangda Singh, who tried her hand at comedy for the first time with Housefull 5, revealed she was initially nervous. However, she said she had to let go of control and simply enjoy the madness.
“I was nervous, honestly. Everyone else had already tuned into the rhythm, and I was finding my feet,” Chitrangda said.
But she surprised herself.
“Once I caught the rhythm, I was having the time of my life,” revealed the actress.
The actress also did a couple of stunts for the film, directed by Tarun Mansukhani.
“No rehearsals just right into it on set. I was punching, kicking, and getting knocked around. I felt like a kid,” she shared.
For an actor more often seen in dramatic, layered or romantic avatars, essaying the chaotic and playful character named Maya was new to the actress, who tagged it as liberating.
“Honestly, it was liberating,” she said.
Chitrangda added: “I had to let go of control and just enjoy the madness.”
