Chitrangada Singh to play a cobbler

9th October 2014

Till date, dusky beauty Chitrangada Singh was majorly seen in sensuous roles on the big screen. However this time, she is all geared up to surprise her fans. The diva is learning to mend shoes as she plays a cobbler in her next 'Babumoshai Bandookbaaz'. Quite an unusual one, we must say!

Along with it, she'll also learn Bengali language as the film demands it too. Kushan, who is the co-writer of the film says, "My film stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Chitrangada. It is an action thriller and is to be shot in the badlands of West Bengal, including Purulia and Burdwan, which is famous for its red soil. Chitrangada is key to the film and like everybody in the movie, has shades of grey to her character. She is currently going through rigorous training to hone her skills as a cobbler from a real cobbler in Kolkata. She will be seen in a completely de-glam avatar with zero make-up."

He further adds, "The reason my producers Kiran Shyam Shroff, Ashmith Kunder and I selected her was that in spite of having a glamorous image, she looks very Bengali. It's a masala entertainer and Chitrangada is not your conventionally pretty Bollywood actress yet she's sensuous in her own way. She does not fit into the cliches of sexy-pretty Bollywood actresses we see. The whole idea was to pit the actors against each other. We are currently finalizing another actor for the film — someone who plays a younger character. We will shoot the film in a start-to-finish schedule starting from this month."

All thanks to her unconventional looks and sharp facial features that landed her in this movie.  Chitrangada was last seen in 'I, Me Aur Main' in 2013.
