She also informs that the actor will join the workshop after the release of Baadshaho. Talking about his co-star, the actress says, “His 2008 film Jannat is one of my favourites. I start shooting in mid-October in Mumbai, Emraan starts before me.”
Malvika also says that she always wanted to be an actress. And also that Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham just cemented her resolve.
After K3G, she stopped working in the B-town. The reason was her father who wanted her to complete her education first. She says, “I graduated in commerce but continued training in dance and martial arts and also learnt acting from Anupam Kher’s institute. I was not the best in studies but remained at the forefront in extra-curriculars like dramatics and dance.”
Expressing her love of being popular among the peers after K3G, she says, “I loved every bit of the attention.”
Starring Emraan Hashmi and Malvika Raaj, Captain Nawab is going to be directed by Tony D’Souza.
