London, February 8 (ANI): Emily Blunt has defended her decision to choose big budget blockbusters over independent movies.

The Devil Wears Prada actress said she did not need to atone and justify the swap.

I knew what I was signing up for. Really I did. People were, like, 'Why have you strayed away from independent films?'. I thought, 'Give us a break! I've hardly done anything but independent films,' the Daily Star quoted her as saying.

She added: I think Benicio put it best. He said, 'C'mon, man. I like candy too, y'know?'. That's how I feel. Why should you have to atone for making big movies? (ANI)
