Essaying a 'Page Three' girl in 'Glamour', paired opposite her 'Apur Panchali' partner Parambrata Chatterjee, actor Parno Mitra says she can't help if directors don't consider the duo as celluloid siblings.
"Yes in Glamour I am Param's love interest, who encounters the tycoon, a fashion house owner, at a pool party In a contrasting genre film Apur Panchali. I was Asima, the wife of 'Apu' Subir Bandyopadhyay, who is so unlike me considering the time gap.
"And We were urban couple in Hawa Badol too. What to do, if the directors don't pit us as brother-sisters in any film! Ask them," Parno told PTI.
On a more serious note, I think the directors will cast only when the chemistry works and clicks for us. It has had been a self-contented journey for me from Ranjana Ami Aar Asbona to Glamour, with Maink's Bedroom, Maach Misti and More and Ami Aar Amar Girlfriends, thrown in between, she said.
"The way my careergraph goes, I don't have any unfulfilled wish," Parno, who averred having drawn her references from creative directors she had met in fashion houses, said.
"Parno is a sensible actor, she is a likeable personality. And she is portraying a glamour queen we haven't seen so far," Parambrata, who is also turning up in Srijit Mukherjee's Chatuskon, after Hemlock and Baishe Srabon, said.
"It has certain shades Parno never experienced as an actor. It is going to be a nice journey for Parno to the world of Glamour an urban thriller genre from the brooding , more plebian world of Asima in Apur Panchali," Parambrata, the Gang of Ghosts actor, said.
About Glamour, the Larai director said, "I nodded for the film since it has a never-before feel of glamour weeded with crime thriller concept in Bengali. It is a urban thriller having got certain twists."
"I like the change of transformation of my character from a production house biggie to a broken, bankrupt soul which has realistic elements," Parambrata said.
Glamour is directed by debutant Mohua Chakraborty.
