Konkona
Sensharma
didn't
have
to
work
hard
or
resort
to
any
gimmicks
to
draw
attention
to
herself.
Her
lineage
and
her
first
film
created
enough
stir
to
generate
curiosity
around
her.
In
Mr
and
Mrs
Iyer
she
carried
her
character
of
innocent
victim
of
circumstances
with
much
convictions
and
ease.
Along
with
Rahul
Bose,
she
stood
her
ground
easily.
Some
called
her
prodigy
while
some
labeled
it
as
pure
stroke
of
luck.

and
she
put
to
shame
even
the
very
professional
journalists
with
her
easy
portrayal
of
their
joy,
depression
and
confusion.
After
remarkable
performances
in
films
like
15
Park
Avenue,
Yun
Hota
To
Kya
Hota
and
Omkara,
Konkona's
next
film
Deadline
releases
this
week.
What
is
your
role
in
this
film?
I
am
playing
a
very
modern
young
mother
to
Princey
(the
child
actor).
She
is
kidnapped
and
the
story
is
about
the
trauma
of
the
young
parents
and
their
child.
Did
you
go
into
any
preparation
for
this
character?
There
was
no
need
to
prepare
because
the
role
is
simple.
But
hard
work
is
always
required.
You
don't
need
to
prepare
but
one
has
to
work
as
per
the
shift
and
be
dedicated
about
it.
I
really
liked
the
script
and
the
character.
And
I
was
very
excited
about
this
role
as
well.
I
didn't
need
to
do
any
homework
or
training
for
this
film.
I
play
a
young
and
a
modern
mother
whose
daughter
is
kidnapped.
Then
she
and
her
husband
(Rajit
Kapur)
are
given
the
Deadline
of
24
hours
to
arrange
for
money
and
ransom.
The
whole
film
is
based
on
this
subject.
So
it
is
more
about
the
drama.
You
don't
need
to
prepare
for
such
characters;
you
need
to
get
into
it.
You
have
usually
worked
in
offbeat
films
and
non-masala
churning
filmmakers.
So
how
did
you
agree
to
work
with
director
Tanveeer
Khan?
Tanveer
is
very
intelligent,
supportive
and
has
taken
a
lot
of
interest
in
this
film.
He
knows
exactly
what
he
wants.
His
involvement
in
the
film
is
very
high.
He
has
made
this
film
very
smoothly
and
without
any
hiccups.
I
have
learned
a
lot
with
him.
The
script
was
so
well
written
that
in
spite
of
being
comparatively
new,
we
could
finish
the
film
in
three
months.
In
fact
we
developed
a
very
good
rapport
during
the
making
of
this
film.
After
my
every
shot
he
would
call
it
mind
blowing
and
excellent.
By
the
end
of
this
film,
by
the
time
he
would
say
'mind' I
would
react
with
'blowing'.
It
had
become
quite
funny.
Didn't
you
feel
any
risk
since
this
is
just
his
second
film
and
his
first
film
Madhoshi
was
a
failure?
See,
risk
is
involved
in
every
film
and
every
director
whether
he
is
new
or
experienced.
I
think
that
the
director
needs
to
be
good,
one
who
can
do
justice
with
the
script.
And
I
have
worked
with
many
new
directors.
I
think
the
script
needs
to
be
good
and
strong.
It
is
a
thriller
suspense
film
and
it
has
so
many
talented
artistes.
I
have
learnt
a
lot
from
them.
The
film
is
very
tight
and
moves
fast.
Irrfan
Khan
is
a
very
seasoned
artiste.
Did
you
ever
feel
the
need
to
work
extra
hard
on
yourself
when
you
share
the
screen
with
him?
He
is
a
very
seasoned
actor
and
it
is
great
to
work
with
him.
There
was
no
insecurity
at
all.
After
each
shot
I
would
ask
him
and
he
would
guide
me
on
how
to
improve
a
certain
shot.
It
was
good
working
with
him.
You
have
worked
with
Sandhya
Mridul
earlier
in
Page
3.
Was
it
a
conscious
decision
to
work
with
her
again?
It
is
coincidence
that
we
are
together.
Initially
we
both
were
very
excited
that
we
are
again
working
together
but
we
don't
have
even
one
scene
together.
You
didn't
have
any
scenes
with
Irrfan
either
in
Yun
Hota
To
Kya
Hota.
(Laughs)
Coincidence!
Are
you
open
to
doing
commercial
films?
If
by
commercial
film
you
mean
a
money-making
film
then
it
is
not
necessary
that
a
big
budget
film
will
really
be
successful.
It
depends
on
the
script,
the
role
and
the
director.
Are
you
happy
with
the
kind
of
films
you
are
getting
now?
Yes,
they
are
good
but
I
would
prefer
if
films
were
not
restricted
by
gender.
There
are
so
many
good
roles
tailored
for
men
and
I
would
like
to
play
them.
Actor
should
not
be
limited
due
to
their
gender.
What
irks
you?
I
can't
stand
it
when
people
ask
me
questions
like
what
I
eat
or
what
my
fitness
regime
is.
Just
because
it
is
expected
that
an
actor
should
talk
about
it
one
should
not
give
in
to
it.
