Kolkata:
Usha Uthup is making her Bengali film debut with Anyo Na and the singing legend will be playing herself.
Usha, who had earlier debuted in Hindi movie Saat Khoon Maaf, will be seen as the cynosure of all eyes at a party scene in a nightclub where she will be crooning her favourite numbers.
"As a nightclub person, whose career had began with Trincas over three decades back, I don't have to put extra effort to portray myself in the scenes. I will also be swaying to the popular numbers belted by the DJ including mine," said the Hare Rama Hare Krishna hitmaker.
"It is more than a cameo, I am singing in the discotheq when I get introduced to Ananya (Chatterjee)'s character, who is a housewife but in awe of Usha Uthup. Therest I will not divulge at this stage," Usha said about her role in Anyo Na.
Asked to compare between her riveting performances in Vishal Bhardwaj's Saat Khoon Maaf and in Anyo Na, Usha said: "You can't compare the two roles. In Vishal's film I play a fictional maid who witnesses the gory deeds of her mistress played by Priyanka Chopra. Here, in my first Bengali debut film, I play myself. I don't have to exert much, I can give shot as I am."
"But here again my role is smaller but integral to the plot as Ananya's character's future action is influenced by her deeds," she said about the Parthasarathi Joardar directed film.
Usha has earlier been seen in films such as Bombay To Goa, Hat Trick and Malayalam flick Pothen Vave.
