Rakhee Sawant is confident of being able to do justice to the role of Bhanwari Devi as well as her Bengali acting debut
When Rakhee Sawant was cast in the role of Bhanwari Devi, the news raised a few eyebrows. Bhanwari Devi is an Indian woman, whose alleged gang rape in 1992 and the subsequent court case was widely discussed in the media. Then came the news of India's original item girl doing a Bengali version of "The Dirty Picture" and that also got many talking about how she would go on to essay this role.

When Rakhee was asked how she would balance two characters as diametrically opposite as Bhanwari Devi and the item girl in the Bengali version of "TDP", she said, "If Vidya Balan can do a "Kahaani" and "TDP" picture, why should it be a problem for me? I am an actor and will approach the role professionally."
Though Rakhee hasn't signed on the Bhanwari Devi movie as yet, she is expected to do so in a day or two.
