Kalki Koechlin: films like ‘Margarita’ need support

Actress Kalki Koechlin is happy that actor Aamir Khan and his filmmaker wife Kiran Rao are supporting her forthcoming film Margarita With A Straw, and says that more than box office collection, support for such films matters.

“We made such a beautiful film on a small budget. There is a huge buzz about the film already and we have the support of Aamir, Kiran and others from the film industry,” the actress said on Monday during the promotion of the film at a radio station.

“So neither am I seeing this film from the collections point of view nor as a hit or a flop. I am excited about the film,” she added.

In Margarita With A Straw, directed by Shonali Bose, Koechlin plays a woman with cerebral palsy. It is slated to release on April 17.
