‘I would love to do my mother’s role in Samapti’

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal">Konkona is your next-door girl, with a mind of her own, self-possessed and gorgeous. The toast of Tollywood, thanks to her films <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Ek Je Achhe Kanya </span>and <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Titli</span>, right now she is anxiously waiting for her next flick, Mr and Mrs Iyer, to hit the theatres in October.<br />Taking a year off after her graduation, Konkona is now in a mood to relax. “I plan to do my masters from Delhi, but not now. I had to take this year off as I was doing Mr and Mrs Iyer,� said Konkona.<br />Film offers may be pouring in from both Bollywood and Tollywood, but Konkona wants to be very, very selective. <br />“Right now, I am concentrating on an English play with Renu Roy. I got an offer for Hindi film, but the story just did not suit me,� she said. <br />So more films with mom Aparna Sen? “May be,� she smiled. “Mr and... is my second film under maa’s direction. The first was Picnic in 1989. Working under her is a different experience altogether.� <br />Is there any role of her mom she would like to do?<br />“Oh, yes, any day it would be Samapti!� she gushes, “I think maa’s expressions are very difficult to re-create. But I would definitely like to give it a try.�<br /><span style="" font-style:="" italic="">tanuja.dasgupta@timesgroup.com</span> </div> </div>
