Bong babe Rituparna Sengupta’s forthcoming film Mittal vs Mittal by Shaila Films Production happens to be a gritty and stark film dealing with marital rape. Ask her the reason behind choosing such a film and she says, “Life’s not always hunky and dory.
I feel Indian cinema is going through a major shift and people are finally welcoming serious movies. Mittal vs Mittal by Rajeev Kore is a liberating film and director
Karan Razdan has very sensitively dealt with women’s issues.” Co-produced by Dinesh Chug, Mittal vs Mittal which releases on March 26 has been in the news for its bold scenes but that doesn’t worry the actress one bit.
Yes, there are bold scenes in the film but they needn’t necessarily be titillating,” says Rituparna bluntly. “Mittal vs Mittal portrays the strain in a relationship.
Hence, we had to show the difference in the intimacy of a happy and a distressed couple, which couldn’t be shown any other way. At times even a basic sensuous scene looks vulgar while at times some bold scenes also look sensuous if shot aesthetically.
In this case, I give all the credit to my director Karan and my co-star
Rohit Roy who made it look so aesthetic. However, some scenes would come as a shocker to the audience and I am sure the film will leave a lasting impact on the minds of the people,” she adds.
