She is best remembered as the 'mast mast' girl for her sensual moves, but Raveena Tandon, now a mother of two, says she has left her "jhatka-matkas" behind and has signed two "tough and challenging" films.
The actress, who was last seen in "Sandwich" in 2006, has now signed two off-beat films.
"I have signed two very tough and challenging films. One is based in Rajasthan - that's a very strong, female-oriented film. The other is a bilingual made in Bengali and Hindi. It's by a Kolkata-based production company and is being directed by Raja Sen, who has won multiple National Awards," Raveena said.
The script of the bilingual movie "The Laboratory" is based on a story written by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, she said.

In the Rajasthan-based untitled film too, the actress is playing an inspirational role.
Without divulging much, she said: "This movie is about a woman's fight against an age-old tradition that has been there in Rajasthan since years and which truly prevails till date in some of the backward areas there. The story is about how she fights the social evil."
So are power women finally catching up in Bollywood?
"Yes. In fact, power women on screen have been happening for some time now. At times there are glamorous roles that you want to be associated with and there are times when you want to be part of strong films like 'Shool' and 'Satta' (that) are equally important," she said.
