Ira Dubey inspired by Joan Baez for 'M Cream'

Mumbai, Jul 9 () Actress Ira Dubey says she took inspiration from popular singer-activist

Joan Baez

for her character in her upcoming film "M Cream". To get under the skin of the character,

Ira

tried to incorporate Joan's qualities in her character

Jay

in the film, directed by Agneya Singh. "Agneya had given me a book on

Joan

Baez and he had given me a reference of her. She had a brilliant voice and she was also a philanthropist, she worked for causes all her life, she also was an activist. I tried to bring those qualities somewhere in Jay's character," Ira said. Ira who has acted in films like "Marigold", "Aisha", "Turning 30", thinks a lot of young girls will relate to her role. Jay is also an activist, one of the four characters who set out on a road trip from Delhi to

Himachal Pradesh

in the quest for M Cream, a form of the magical drug hashish. "The film is a slice of life. It's like a chapter taken out of our life and we've just portrayed that. The film is a journey of four characters, of course on a symbolic, metaphorical level. It is also the internal journey of four characters," Ira said. The film, which also stars Imaad Shah, Auritra Ghosh And Raaghav Chanana, releases next month. KKP KRK PSH BAS
