Rituparna on playing a cop for the first time

Rituparna Sengupta will next be seen as a daring cop for the first time in her career, in debutant director Sandip Chowdhury’s Bidrohini, which is set for Valentine’s Day release.
The seasoned actor has never been shied away from working with new filmmakers, be it Shiboprosad Mukherjee, Nandita Roy or Indrasis Acharya. And now, it’s ‘Bidrohini’ with Sandip Chowdhury who happens to be the son of filmmaker Anjan Chowdhury.
“Sandip has a legacy to live up to since he is the son of illustrious filmmaker Anjan Chowdhury. I did not get an opportunity to work with Anjan, but when Sandip came to me with this interesting script, I said yes to Bidrohini,” reveals Rituparna.
Speaking about the film she says ‘Bidrohini’ will offer many surprises to the cine lovers: “I play an IPS officer, Kiran, who is a very emotional person with a lot of commitments and responsibilities, both in her personal and professional life. There are a lot of surprises in the film that will leave the audience with a feeling that women can achieve way more in life than what is expected from them.”
The film produced by Mirage Movies also stars Rishi Kaushick, Anindo Sarkar, Santana Basu, Arunima Sen, Sonali Chowdhury and others in pivotal roles. The plot weaves around Kiran (Rituparna) who raises her voice against the mental and physical torture once inflicted upon her sister.
