Actress Mishti Chakraborty, who plays Kashibai in the Kangana Ranaut starrer Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi is highly disappointed with the way her role has turned out in the recently released film. Talking exclusively with Cine Blitz, the actress shared, “I am hugely disappointed with the way my character has shaped up. When you sign a film there are basic promises that are made to you by the filmmakers. We always knew that the film’s director is Krish and he is a superbly talented director. I adore him and I always wanted to work with him. He had sent me pictures for casting reference of Kashibai and I immediately said yes to him. But when I saw the film I was disappointed.”

Mishti – who has done a lot of films down South – says that she did the film for Krish. When asked if he directed most of her scenes she said, “What Krish did with most of the characters including me is not there in the film. But then I am happy that Kangana ne finally jitna bhi direction kiya hai, she has made it look beautiful. She has done absolute justice to her own character and to the film.”

Mishti further adds, “She has done justice to Rani Laxmibai. I am happy if I were to see it from a bigger perspective, but on a selfish perspective, as an artiste I think my character has turned into a caricature.”

The actress wants to be more careful in choosing her projects here in Bollywood. “In Hindi I am sorting out my offers carefully now because I don’t want this to repeat again. I think I deserve much more than this. I had a small character in Begum Jaan as well, but it was amazing that so many people had appreciated me in that film, even though there was such a big actress in the film. And the way they handled each and every character, ek achche film mein aisa hi hota hain. So what if the character is only for a few minutes on screen but it has to be shown in such a way that audience fall in love with that character too,” shared Mishti.

She adds, “I am being very cautious. I have a lot of offers in Bengali and they are mostly for commercial films. I want to do something in Bengali that is very substantial. Srijit Mukherji, Kamleshwar Da some good work with them. I am also doing films down south why do I need to do this kind of work here.”
