From doing uber intense roles, which reflect the grey shades of life in films like Page3 and Mr and Mrs Iyer, to acting in star-studded commercial flicks like the upcoming Laga Chunari Mein Daag and Aaja Nachle, Konkana Sen Sharma gets equally excited to do both genres of films, “provided it’s a good script” and she is “convinced” by the character.
“A solo lead in the film or sharing space with big names is immaterial to me. A convincing character and an interesting script lure me to sign a film,” says the versatile actress. The movie closest to her heartis her mother Aparna Sen’s 15 Park Avenue “for the complexity of the schizophrenic character” she portrayed in it. Konkana is looking forward to her upcoming projects like Yash Raj Films’ Laga Chunari Mein Daag, Sunglass and Aaja Nachle to help get rid of her typecast “serious” image.
Changing the garb
“I do not deliberately choose to play strong, serious roles in my films, it has been quite a coincidence that my films have a grey shade and are different from mainstream Hindi movies, but in my upcoming films I hope to remove this notion.”Ask her about dancing in her future release, Aaja Nachle, Konkana, in New Delhi to attend a book launch event, Konkana winces, saying, “Dancing has been a nerve-wracking experience for me, since I am a complete non-dancer, I didn’t really enjoy dancing but I tried my best since the film demanded it.”
An experience
Sharing one of her most memorable scenes in Vishal Bhardwaj’s hit film Omkara, Konkana winks and says, “The cow dung scene was quite an experience. I had to prepare biomass cakes out of fresh, warm cow dung and the shot took 15 takes to complete!”
