I have nothing to impress or prove to people: Urmila

Mumbai, Aug 16 (UNI) Bollywood actress Urmila Matondkar says that she is going through a phase in her career where she does not want to do every film that comes her way.

''Every actor goes through this phase. I am looking for different films, better roles. I feel this is part of the growing up process of any actor. A stage comes when you cannot say yes to every film that comes your way. I have nothing to impress or prove to people. I want to take my art and performance to newer heights,'' Urmila told UNI when asked why she is been seen less on screen in recent times.

She said her next release will be Onir's 'Bas Ek Pal' with Juhi Chawla, Sanjay Suri and others while Vikram Bhat's 'Speed' starring herself with Zayed Khan and Aftab Shivdasani is also ready for release.

''There are a couple of more projects which are in the pipeline including Ramgopal Varma Ki Sholay where I will perform Helen's dance number 'Mehbooba'. I am eagerly looking forward to it because I love dancing,'' she said.

Urmila, who will judge SaharaOne's reality show 'Superstars' along with choreographer Shiamak Davar beginning this month says both she and Shiamak are positive minded people and she does not feel the need to be harsh on participants.
