Looking forward to an epic role

Having been wowed by the vastness of Goutam Ghosh's 'Padma Nadir Majhi', capturing the hope and despair of the people living on river banks, Rituparna Sengupta dreams to portray the female protagonist Champa one day.
Rituparna, who had portrayed the life of a snake charmer-seductress in Mukul Roychgowdhury's Sunderbans-centric Taaan, told PTI, "Yes the one character Champa in 'Padma Nadir Majh'i fascinates me a lot. Would love to be part of an epic like Padma Nadir Majhi in future," Rituparna said.
Coming to Taaan, where she is the cohort of sunderbans mafia (Rajesh Sharma), Rituparna said, "My character Sundari has shades of vulnerability amidst the demeanour of a strong woman, strict but simple and innocent. Beiing from urban background with not an iota of idea about rural women, how they converse and drape the saree around, I did not have any reference point except character like Padma Nadhir Majhi.

Rituparna, who confirmed having essayed the role of a snake charmer in commercial potboiler Beder Meye Jyotsna years back, said for the role of Sundari, she had largely drawn from the role of a sex-workers in Buddhadev Dasguopta's Mondo Meyer Upakshan.
"I don't know if ever any Bengali film had been shot on countryboart and launch for so many days.
Ad man turned director Mukul Roychowdhury's Taaan, produced by Fab Four films, has been largely shot in Sunderbans creeks, again for the first ime in Tollywood.
