Bengali flick deals with the issue of pre-marital pregnancy

Despite back to back critical acclaims for her variegated roles in recent celluloid flicks, young actor Sayani Ghosh is now tentative about the upcoming Antaraal, which deals with the issue of pre-marital pregnancy.
Unlike the bubbly journo in political thriller Kanamachhi or the plebian, docile-type in Alik Sukh on the ills having plagued the medical profession, in Antaraal I bring to the fore an issue, a subject which demands involvement with the subject as a woman, as I identify with the predicament of the character," Sayani told PTI before the release of the movie.
"Unlike the conformist, lower-middle class churidar-wearing sister-in-law in Alik Sukh, who is so unlike me in every way, or the bubbly, journo-friend of the protagonist in Kanamachhi, in Antaraal I essay an introspective character who is not intimidated by the circumstances, not considering herself a sinner and facing society on her terms.

"It is a woman-centric film, trying to gauge the perspective and the turn of events from a femme's point of view. Happy to do such string of various roles in a span of few months," Sayani, a known name in Bengali soaps, averred.
"I can relate to her being a woman as women are forced to combat certain situations which are thrust upon them but none is there to hear her side of story. Without being judgmental happy that directors are now tackling such issues with more sensitivity these days," Sayani, a known face in southern film industry with masala flicks in her belt, said.

She has no qualms to straddle small and big screens so long audience loves to see her. "If Ananya Chatterjee could do such role as In Abohoman even while wowing audiences with Subarnalate for days, where is the harm!," Sayani said.
The tilting tracks of Antaraal are put to life by poet-lyricist-music director Joy Sarkar.
