Rituparna Sengupta is all set to sizzle in the Bengali remake of Bipasha Basu-John Abraham-starrer Hindi film "Jism", but she says that unlike the Bollywood actress it would be a challenge for her to play "a sexy loner" convincingly in "Trishna".
"I'm not copying Bipasha in 'Trishna'. It is no doubt a remake of 'Jism', but there are certain differences," Rituparna, who is paired opposite newcomer Angshuman in the film, said.
"Bipasha did the film at the beginning of her career and people found it easier to identify her with her character in the film. But look at me... I have done so many roles over the last 10 years and it will be challenging for me to fit in the role of a sexy loner," she said.
Rituparna has gone in for a complete makeover for the film by debutant director Pritam Jalan.
"My fans will find me in a completely new avatar with curled hair, smoky eyes and skimpy clothes. I'm sure this film is going to set a new trend in the Bengali film industry.
"My character Piyasha is one synonymous with desire. So I spent long sessions with fashion designer Suchismita to decide my costumes in the film. For the first time you will find me doing lots of skin show. But I have not done anything beyond my comfort level."
Shooting for the film has already begun in Kolkata and its suburbs.
Asked whether West Bengal's orthodox audience would accept her in her new bold avatar, Rituparna said: "I'm not sure. Honestly speaking, the film is so irresistible that I'm risking my hard-earned reputation by doing it. But I have full faith in my fans."
