The gifted actor, having portrayed an anti-dam activist on the lines of NBA spearhead Medha Patkar in Nodi Re Tui, said her character can be called as having shades of the female duper in superhit Bunty Aur Bubbly essayed by Abhisek Bachhan and Rani Mukherjee respectively.
"As having partnered my family on stage magic shows in past and learning the ropes from parents, you can infer I can help my cast and crew how to turn the hoodwink act believable during shoot," she said adding story-wise "Dekha De! Has also shades of southern superhit.
"Ready to pick up tips from Maneka, my on-screen Bubbly, yes not entirely but we are an on-screen Bengali version of Bunty ands Bubbly here," debutant lead Ishaan said.
