Ileana D'Cruz has been a part of several successful movies in Bollywood and down South, but the actor says there was a time when she would sign a film without giving it a serious thought.


The 30-year-old actor has worked in more than 15 films in her six year-long career in the South, before making a debut in the Hindi film industry with Barfi! in 2012. "I keep joking, I was the Akshay Kumar of South, I used to do four films a year.


He does good films, but some films of mine were good, some weren't. I was just signing films, there wasn't this thing of 'wanting to do good work'," Ileana says.

The Mubarakan actor says she eventually decided to get her feet back on ground and focus on taking her career forward. "I told myself, this is never really going to last for a long time, about time I started doing good work."
