Sarkar 3 was a great opportunity for me as a performer: Yami Gautam

Mumbai: Sarkar 3 may have bombed at the box office, but actor Yami Gautam said the movie was a great opportunity for her as an artiste.

Directed by Ram Gopal Varma the political thriller featured megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Jackie Shroff, Manoj Bajpayee, Ronit Roy, Amit Sadh and Yami among others.

"Sarkar 3 for me was a very important movie. I think I looked at it as an opportunity to be a part of 'Sarkar' franchise, which is not small at all. No one can predict a film's success or failure."

"But there are some films you are just happy to be a part of... I mean to be a part of Sarkar which had Mr Bachchan playing the lead. The whole genre is so special. I'm happy to do something that I have not done before," Yami told PTI on the sidelines of International Jewellery Week.

Yami walked the ramp for jewellery designer Pallavi Foley, who presented her latest collection 'Flame of The Forest' here last night.

The actor was happy to collaborate with the jewellery designer.

"I loved Pallavi's idea of trying to create a fusion with my western attire and traditional jewellery. I am delighted to be associated with them."
