Nothing dramatic or serious about my character in 'Laaga Chunari...'

Mumbai, Oct 9 (UNI) Upcoming actor Kunal Kapoor says that his character in the forthcoming Yash Chopra Film 'Laaga Chunari Mein Daag' is of a light-hearted person and there was nothing dramatic or serious about him.

''Vivaan of 'Laaga Chunari Mein Daag' is completely different and there is nothing really dramatic or serious about him. He's a light- hearted chap,'' Kunal, who is paired opposite Konkana Sen Sharma in the film, told media persons.

''I always wanted to work with Pradeep Sarkar, after I had watched his film 'Parineeta'. There were a couple of people I had on my mind with whom I wanted to work and Dada was one of them. So when I got a call from him, I was really excited,'' he added.

Kunal said his character Vivaan is a creative director in an Advertising agency. He's a lazy, laid-back sort of a guy.

''Dada told me to just be myself to get into the skin of the character. Just be yourself, behave like yourself and wear your own personal clothes and you will be perfect. So that's how Vivaan is,'' he recalled.
