Bollywood actress Zarine Khan ponders Hollywood offer for ‘Chimera’ role

Zarine Khan

New Delhi, Sep 12 (IANS) Actress Zarine Khan has revealed of being approached to be a part of author-turned-director Daniel Silva’s “Chimera”, but she is still brooding over the offer.

“I have been offered the film but I am thinking about it,” Zarine, who was here to launch popular cosmetic brand Lotus Herbals’ new range of natural makeup “Pure Stay”, told IANS Tuesday night.

“It is a thriller called ‘Chimera’ opposite Billy Zane. I have read the script but I am still thinking about it,” she added.

“Chimera” is said to be based on Silva’s bestselling novel “The Fallen Angel”. Rumours were earlier abuzz that Zarine has been offered the film, but the actress preferred being tight-lipped about it.

Ever since Zarine made her Bollywood debut with 2010 film “Veer”, she has chosen a slow and steady path to carve a niche for herself in the film industry. The 28-year-old, who was last seen in Sajid Khan’s “Housefull 2”, says she believes in quality of work rather than quantity.

“I really don’t want to be in the race of newcomers, who are just running after the projects. It’s not that I haven’t been offered films. I have been offered a lot of films after ‘Housefull 2’, but I want to take my time and do quality work rather than quantity. Though would take time but I would like to follow it,” she said.
