"It gives a high to me," the award-winning actress, 34, said while speaking about her character Nandini from Rabindranath Tagore's Raktakarabi.
"I am happy that characters with Tagorean references are coming my way a lot more these days," she said. Earlier, she played Kodombori in Rabindranath's much-acclaimed work Sesher Kobita. (Also read:"Konkana Sen Sharma, Sakshi Tanwar in film on sex workers? )
Recalling how she grasped the typical Tagorean touch in the dialogue of Nandini, Konkona said, "I found the parts a bit difficult. But the workshop with Sohag Sen (theatre personality) helped as I worked towards perfecting the lines and nuances and memorised the words."
"I have to become the Nandini of Raktakarabi as people have certain perceptions about her, while Labanya is also a well-known character in Sesher Kobita. So though it is a challenge to live upto the perceptions, my portrayals are based on my understanding and homework," Konkona said.
She acknowledged the role of her mother (Aparna Sen) to help her in getting a grip on the character Nandini. The director of the film, Saibal Mitra, said Konkona's Deepa in Sajarur Kanta is a vital cog in the crime thriller with a romantic angle.
Konkona, who was the female lead in Page 3, said she was fine with all kinds of films and acknowledged the fact that she had been offered interesting projects in Bengali.
Actor Dhritiman Chatterjee, who starred in Satyajit Ray's Pratidwandi, plays the 60-plus Byomkesh Bakshi in the film, which is set in present day Kolkata.
