Jacqueline Fernandez de-glamorises in Brothers

Actor’s upcoming film, starring Akshay Kumar, expected to hit screens on July 31.

MUMBAI: Actor Jacqueline Fernandez, who has created ripples with her glamorous look in most of her films, will be seen in a complete different avatar in her next film Brothers.

“In terms of my looks in Brothers, it’s definitely not a glamourised look. It’s very realistic,” she said.

“We have to keep it that way because of the type of role that I am playing. We are trying to push the envelope with a lot of characters in Brothers. We are going out of the way and being honest to our roles,” she added.

The film, also starring Akshay Kumar, Sidharth Malhotra and Jackie Shroff in key roles, is produced by Karan Johar and is expected to hit screens on July 31.

Last seen with Salman Khan in Sajid Nadiadwala’s directorial debut Kick, the former Sri Lankan beauty queen has worked with directors like Sajid Khan, Mohit Suri, Abbas-Mastan since her debut in Bollywood with Sujoy Ghosh’s 2009 fantasy drama Aladin.

When asked how Brothers will be different from her past films, she said: “In Brothers, I am going into a zone that is something that I have not done before.”

“It’s a very simple and desi character. It’s also a character that I think a lot of people would not have expected me to do. This is exactly the reason why Karan approached me for this. I think as an actor it is amazing to shock your audiences,” she added.
