Mumbai: Former beauty queen Lara Dutta is planning to trying her hand at comedy for the first time in her 15 Bollywood film, three year old career.

Lara recently said in an interview to an English daily that it was a great learning experience to work with well-known actors such as Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar and Govinda in the new movie Bhaagam Bhaag.

"When else am I going to get a chance to be surrounded by so many talented comic actors?" she said.

There is also a mystery woven into the films plot, Dutta reportedly said, adding she was at the center of all the action. "Everybody is chasing me," she said. "I hold the key to a mystery. It's a mad film with a whole lot of crazy characters."
