Kalki Koechlin in fun loving avatars

Known for her offbeat roles in "Dev D" and "Shaitan", Kalki Koechlin will soon be seen playing fun loving avatars in movies such as " Ek Thi Daayan" and " Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani".

The 29-year-old actress, who began her career playing a MMS scandal victim who turns into a prostitute in 2009 release "Dev D", was last seen portraying a student activist in "Shanghai".

"I am playing this bohemian happy-go-lucky girl in 'Ek Thi Daayan'. She is a very sweet 'non-daayan' like character. I do get into an unpredictable zone but the inherent sweetness doesn't go," Kalki told PTI.

The film, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, also stars Konkona Sen Sharma and Huma Qureshi.

"I am not necessarily a 'daayan' but then I could be the one! It is this very unpredictability about the film that I love most. It is a contemporary film set in today's Mumbai," Kalki added.

The actress is also busy these days shooting for the Karan Johar-produced "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani".

Talking about her character, Kalki said, "In this film I am playing a very loving girl, someone who everyone falls for. This is again the kind of character that I have never done before. I am getting into the shoes of this really 'bindaas', loud and funny girl."

"Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" stars ex-flames Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor and is directed by Ayan Mukerji.
