Sharmila has returned to Bengali cinema with Puratawn, helmed by Suman Ghosh, after 15 years. Speaking with Money Control, Suman spoke about Sharmila’s character in the film. He said that the actor plays an elderly who will celebrate her 80th birthday. Rituparna essays the role of her daughter and Indraneil Sengupta of her son-in-law.
Recalling his conversation with Sharmila, he said, “She was very diligent. When I went to her house in Delhi, when I was talking about the film, she had told me that, aamake chhedona kintu (don’t be lenient with me), even if you feel so, unless you are 100 percent happy. And that was amazing because at this age and this level of our career, that striving for perfection…we never realised that we were working with such a legend on the set.”
Saif was recently seen in Devara: Part 1, which hit theatres on September 27 in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi. The film also starred Jr NTR, Janhvi Kapoor, Prakash Raj, Srikanth Meka, Tom Shine Chacko, and Narain.
