Amanda Peet: I am fascinated by India
Tuesday, September 30, 2008 at 4:09 am Under Entertainment News 51 views
For “A Lot Like Love” actress Amanda Peet India remains a fascinating country and the Hollywood star wishes to explore it.
Peet is playing the character of an FBI agent in the “The X-Files: I Want to Believe” which was released in India last week.
“Whatever I have known about India leaves me totally fascinated. I really want to explore India,” Peet told the PTI in an email interview. And a visit to Taj Mahal is on top of her wish-list.
“I would love to spend time visiting all the famous historical places especially the famous Taj Mahal. I have heard a lot about India’s ancient civilisation and rich cultural heritage,” she says.
Peet has worked in hits like “Something Gotta Give” opposite Jack Nicholson, “A Lot Like Love” opposite Ashton Kutcher and in “Syriana” with George Clooney and Matt Damon.
The actress says she would like to try a Bollywood film if she is offered a good script. “Why not, if the project is good I will definitely give it a thought,” Peet said.
When asked wether she had watched any Indian films, Peet said, “I have heard a lot about Bollywood. But to be frank I have not seen much of the films. They have quite a huge fan following in US especially some Bollywood actors I know of are very popular here.”
Talking about her character in the current film based on the popular X-Files series, Peet says, “I play FBI Agent Dakota Whitney who is using a psychic on a case and needs verification about whether the psychic is authentic and so I seek the help of Scully and Mulder.”
The actress found the film script to be very scary and that made her mind. “I found it really unsettling and really scary,” she added. Peet’s character in the film seeks out old FBI agents Dana Scully and Fox Mulder to help in the investigations.
She hopes that after her romantic roles, her Indian fans would like her in this new character as well. “I thank all my fans in India for giving me fabulous support and expect that they will like me in the X-Files as well where I play an FBI agent,” she said.
Talking about her upcoming films, the actress says she is working in four to five films. “My ‘Five Dollar a Day’ where I am playing Maggie and ‘What Doesn’t Kill You’ are ready to release. Than there are ‘Safely Glass’, an untitled project and ‘2012′ in production stage.”
Peet hopes to take a break after completing the shooting of all these films. “Once I am done with all these films, I would just want to chill and spend some quality time with my family. After all those are the moments I live for,” she adds.
