Soha Ali Khan has completed eight years in cinema with a filmography boasting of about 20 films so far, but the actress says she never feels pressurised to be visible. The 34-year-old daughter of Sharmila Tagore made her Bollywood debut with &#39;Dil Maange More&#39; back in 2004 and went on to star in acclaimed films like &#39;Rang De Basanti&#39;, &#39;Khoya Khoya Chand&#39;, &#39;Mumbai Meri Jaan&#39; and &#39;99&#39;. &quot;I understand that it has almost been eight years in the industry and that it is competitive and important to be visible and to work constantly. But I have never felt these pressures. I think it is important to do good work and last longer than to do lot of work and burn out quickly,&quot; Soha told PTI in an interview. In 2011, the actress starred in just one film, &#39;Soundtrack&#39;, after which she was seen playing a pivotal role in Deepa Mehta&#39;s &#39;Midnight&#39;s Children&#39;. &quot;It also depends on what is offered to you and what you like. The idea is to do good work. A film is a part of what I am doing. In 2012, I did a number of things - a comedy film, a dramatic film in terms of shooting and also a fashion based TV show &#39;What Not To Wear&#39;. There are a number of ways to keep yourself creatively engaged. Working in films is definitely the focus for me and I would like to do it,&quot; she said. Soha is currently busy shooting for &#39;Joe B Carvalho&#39;, a comedy film directed by debutante Sameer Tiwari. The film also stars Arshad Warsi. &quot;We still have a couple of songs that we will shoot in the first week of April. I have a few days to shoot at the end of the month and then we will be done with the film. It is a comedy. I thought it was really funny when the director narrated the film,&quot; Soha said.u00a0 The film will also see Javed Jaffrey, Paresh Rawal, Geeta Basra and Karishma Kotak in pivotal roles. <img alt="Soha Ali Khan, Yagnesh Shetty" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/feb/Soha-Yagnesh_1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 283px;" /> Soha Ali Khan trains with Yagnesh Shetty aka Cheetah. &quot;It is is about two assassins trying to kill each other, a detective played by Arshad and a cop Shantipriya Phadnis, played by me. It is a story of comedy of errors and mistaken identity. I have done romantic comedy, action comedy but never a proper comedy so I thought it will be nice to do.&quot; Soha took martial art lessons from action master Yagnesh Shetty for a few days before she began shooting for the film so that she would look convincing as a cop. But the actress says she did not require it much because the film is ultimately a comedy. &quot;I am undercover most of the time in the film but there are lot of scenes in which I had to wear the police uniform. In the introduction scene, I had to do a little bit of action. &quot;I have always wanted to do martial arts. I had five classes with Yagnesh Shetty, aka Cheetah. But when I went ahead to shoot, I did not require any of it and I realised I could have just been fine with a little bit of warming up,&quot; she said. When asked how was it working with a first time director, Soha said, &quot;It was fun working with him. There was a lot to handle and he did it brilliantly with the help of a talented cast. We spent 40 days in Bangalore, we stuck to the schedule. He has a good temperament and is easy to work with.&quot;
