Nushrratt Bharuccha says whether Dream Girl 2 would be better if she was part of it

Nushrratt said that there are a lot of films she wishes she could have done. “You can ask me this question about any film not just the one I was replaced from and I'll not have an answer. Till I actually do it, till I actually do the part...As an actor do I ever think, 'Isne yeh film kiya main isse better karsakti hoon (She has done this film, I can do better)?' I would never say it, even if it's not my own film. I look up to a lot of actors' work and a lot of films I wish I could have done. But that is the greed in me to want to do that part. Would I ever say, 'Main isse better kar sakti hoon (I can do better than her)?' (Shakes her head),” she said.

Nushrratt talks about actor's version and director's vision

She added that even the thought would make her feel she is doing “grave injustice”. “Mere DNA mein nahi hai, hai hi nahi (It's not there in my DNA). I don't know how to bring that thought into my mind and body. I feel like even thinking it, I'd do a grave injustice to the fact that I have chosen to be an actor and be in this profession. Acting is a very personal thing. Every actor brings something absolutely different on screen. You can't say, ‘isse better hoga ya worse hoga (it’ll be better or worse)'. Woh uska version hai,woh director ka vision hai. Usko woh chahiye woh hai (That's her version, director's vision. He wants it),” she concluded.
