They were simply out of the world,&rdquo; says the Mast Mast girl. In a short interview with CS, she opens up about her new project, masala films and how she finds the termu00a0&lsquo;comeback&rsquo; funny. <img alt="Raveena Tandon" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/sep/Raveena.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 778px;" /> Retro touch I was in touch with Anurag (Kashyap) for a long time regarding the film. In fact, I have worked with him earlier in Shool, he had written the story of the film. Since then, I have great regard for his sensibilities as a scriptwriter and filmmaker. I tease him as &lsquo;genius&rsquo; all the time. However, I got a real kick about this film when I heard the songs. They are simply mind-blowing. In a sense this is my first period film. I love films of the retro era. However, though this film is set in a bygone era, it does not exactly have the black and white flavour.u00a0 No lack of spice I don&rsquo;t think that the charm of masala films is fading away. In fact, we are seeing too many of them lately, ever since the success of Dabangg. Recently, when I saw the song &lsquo;Agal Bagal Hai&rsquo; from a recent Shahid Kapoor-Ileana D&rsquo;Cruz starrer, it reminded me so much of the songs I did with Chi Chi (Govinda). Masala films will always find an audience.u00a0The comeback myth It is funny to read headlines like &lsquo;Raveena is making a comeback&rsquo;. I never took a long break ever in my career. I was doing endorsements, judging reality shows, etc. In fact, I even did a film or two. However, every time I come in a film, the media calls it a comeback. It is surprising becauseu00a0I have been facing the camera often.u00a0 Slow and steady At times, I feel exhausted with the amount of work I am doing currently. Though I can take on two more films, I am consciously avoiding too much work. I want to devote sufficient time to my children, and don&rsquo;t want to compromise on that. I am happy with with the number of films and the pace of work. Staying fit Exercising daily is a must for me. I workout daily in the gym for 45 minutes or one hour. As far as looking pretty is concerned, I feel that if you are happy and content, it reflects on your face. I try and avoid stress. Exploring myself After working in the industry for so many years, I am no longer in the competitive mode. I would be kidding myself if I felt that I was a part of the rat race. As an actor, I want to take on roles that I haven&rsquo;t done before. I want to feel motivated about the kind of films or roles that I take on.
