Actress Sudipta Chakraborty has been a veteran in the Bengali film industry. She has earned a reputation for portraying different kinds of characters. She also bagged the national award for her role in Rituparno Ghosh's 'Bariwali'. At present, the national award-winning actress is entering uncharted territory. She is preparing for her big Bollywood debut. Though she will star in a Hindi movie for the first time, earlier she has featured in Hindi soaps and telefilms.

 

The national award-winning actress will feature in the Hindi film 'Manohar Pandey' directed by Kaushik Ganguly. Incidentally, this is also the debut Bollywood film for the national award-winning Bengali filmmaker as well. While talking about the film to Zee24 Ghanta digital, the actress said, "One-day Kaushikda called me to talk about this film. I agreed immediately after I came to know about the other actors of the film."

 

The lovable judge from Jolly LLB series, Saurabh Shukla and the Lagaan actor Raghubir Yadav will also feature in 'Manohar Pandey'. The fierce and formidable Dhankor Baa, Supriya Pathak from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela' will also appear in the film.

 

The national award-winning actress refused to divulge anything about her character. However, she informed that her shooting will start from February 8. "The script is very realistic", she added.

 

This is Chakraborty's hat trick film with the national award-winning filmmaker. Earlier, she has featured in Ganguly's 'c/o Sir' and 'Jyesthoputro' (' The Elder Son').

 

Speaking about his Bollywood debut, Chakraborty said, "Though I have done Hindi-speaking characters, this is my first Hindi-speaking character in a Hindi movie. And because of the language, I will be able to reach a larger number of audience." When asked about if she will feature in Hindi films again, she noted, "Why not if I get an interesting character!"

 

The actress also informed that alongside senior actors like Saurabh Shukla and Supriya Pathak, she is also an admirer of several young Hindi actors. Though she also wished to work with Irrfan Khan, unfortunately, that cannot happen anymore, she regretted.
