Though Rituparno Ghosh has worked with Jisshu Sengupta in the past, this is his first full-fledged work with the younger of the Sen sisters, ‘Abohomaan’ being a very small role. Ask him on his working experience with Riya Sen, and pat comes the reply that she is a very talented actress. Well, that may come as a surprise because Riya Sen can be called anything but talented, according to many inside the industry! Rituparno Ghosh though choose to differ, saying that Riya Sen’s talent has still not been tapped by the Bengali as well as the Hindi film industries because most filmmakers tend to misunderstand the actress.

The director explains that while Raima Sen is the more known face among the two sisters, Riya Sen fails to get noticed because she does not interact with many people and does not have many friends inside the industry. However, this does not mean that the girl is a snob, confirms Rituparno Ghosh. All that we can say is that Riya Sen too be seen in a role where she can walk home with a National Award winning performance, like so many of Rituda’s leading ladies!
