‘Was typecast in the seductress image, got similar kinds of roles and…’ – Firstpost

Chitrangda Singh’s next big project is more than just a film it’s a tribute. Based on real-life events that have deep roots in military history, the project stars none other than Salman Khan, and Chitrangda is thrilled to be part of it.

“It’s a story of bravery and courage,” she says. “Coming from an army background, I remember this event being spoken about in our circles. So to be part of this film feels very personal.”

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Singh revealed how she was typecast in the ‘seductress image’ role.

“One thing I get to hear often is that people think I don’t live in Mumbai. Sometimes they feel like I’m probably between two cities and they are unsure whether I will take up a project or not due to that. So, often they don’t even reach out,” Singh said.

“I got similar kinds of roles offered to me in different films. So maybe that tag also played a part,” she said.

“This isn’t just about the spectacle. It’s meaningful. It’s rooted. It’s real,” she emphasizes. There’s a sense of pride in her voice a connection that goes beyond a typical role. She sees it as a way of honoring the real heroes, of bringing forgotten or lesser-known stories into the mainstream.

And of course, working with Salman Khan is a milestone. “Everything he’s part of becomes massive. Whether you’re an actor or technician, it all scales up,” she says. But what excites her more is the chance to be part of a film that says something important. It’s the kind of story that deserves to be told. And I’m just happy I get to be part of telling it.”
