National
Award-winning
actor,
Rituparna
Sengupta,
believes
in
getting
into
the
skin
of
the
character
that
she
plays
in
a
movie.
However,
that
is
not
always
such
a
good
idea,
as
she
found
out
while
shooting
for
Dinesh
Chugh's
'Mittal
Vs
Mittal',
directed
by
Karan
Razdan.
Rituparna
shot
a
sequence
on
marital
rape,
for
the
movie.
She
played
the
role
with
such
conviction
that
she
scared
herself.
"It
was
terrifying," she
says,
"I
kept
seeing
the
sequence
for
days
in
my
sleep,
and
kept
waking
up
in
cold
sweat."
Karan
Razdan,
on
location
in
Cape
Town,
where
he
is
shooting
for
his
next
film,
admits
that
it
was
difficult
for
her
to
do
a
differential
shot
after
the
sequence
mentioned
above.
He
adds,
"Rituparna
is
a
director's
actor.
And
the
scenes
were
hair-raising.
She
used
to
keep
experiencing
the
feel
of
the
scene,
post
the
shoot.
As
a
director,
I
took
her
dedication
and
ability
to
get
her
into
character,
to
my
advantage."
However,
he
realized
that
it
would
be
too
much
for
her
to
act
traumatized
one
day
and
cheerful
the
next.
So
he
toned
down
the
action,
and
concentrated
on
propping
the
shot
instead.
According
to
Rohit
Roy,
this
creativity
from
the
director
made
shooting
a
pleasure.
"We
could
look
totally
in
character
in
a
scene,
and,
in
the
next,
he
would
come
out
with
this
smart
aesthetic
shot
where
both
Rituparna
and
I
would
feel
the
element
of
relief
creep
in,
making
the
next
difficult
scene
easier,"
he
adds.
The
traumatized
Rituparna
has
the
last
word.
"We
really
admire
the
way
Karan
has
commercially
shot
a
realistic
film
without
losing
out
on
the
values,"
she
says.
