It’s a flying start for Rupsha this year. The actor, who plays Ravi Kissen’s ex-flame in “Chaalis Chauraasi”, is keenly awaiting the release of the film. The offer came to her in September. “I sent a showreel to the production house. In a few days’ time, I was in Mumbai, sharing the same frame as Ravi Kissen!” she says. Giving an insight into the film, Rupsha adds that her character is meant to enhance Ravi’s role in this cop flick.
“I’m one of the many things that happen to the four cops (
Naseeruddin Shah, Atul Kulkarni, Kay Kay Menon and Ravi Kissen) in the course of one night. Ravi Kissen, who had a fling with me in the film, comes to wish me on my wedding night. That he doesn’t care a damn comes through in the interactions that happen between us,” she says.Rupsha, who had a two-day shoot in Mumbai, says she is floored by the professionalism that Maximum City has to offer. “There’s no turning up late on the sets, no waiting once your make-up is done. I was inspired to a great extent by Ravi Kissen. He is a small-town man at heart. That he has cut a niche for himself is through sheer fire. I’ve learnt one thing from him — let it burn little, but let it burn for long and all the while remain sane in this insane world,” Rupsha reflects. The actor, who calls her decision to leave for Mumbai ‘impulsive’, is in no mood to leave for greener pastures. “I can go to Mumbai on work, but there’s no leaving Kolkata. I’ve my two kids to look after — my dogs, Cocoa and Tuffy. I want to be a good mother and continue being a working woman,” she says. Way to go, girl!
