“I dont want to box myself into anything. I have done October and I am super happy. I want to be versatile and work with different creative people. If it is a massy film, great or if it is going to be an independent film with first time director, that also will be great. I just want to be creatively passionate about the project.
“… We all have grown up watching (commercial cinema) and there is a reason they do well. But at the same time, I am so much driven creatively to push the envelope and boundaries and creating new content,” Banita told PTI.
The actor received appreciation for her performance as Shiuli, a hotel trainee who goes into coma after a freak accident. The film also starred Varun Dhawan.

“I am indebted to Shoojit Sircar (director) for trusting me with this role. It was a life changing role for me. It looked easy on screen but it wasnt. We all worked as a team to pull it off. The response we got is incredible. I feel blessed and grateful to be part of the project,” she says.
After shooting the film, Banita returned to the UK to film Diljit Dosanjhs music video Jind Mahi.
