Clad in a fawn yellow blouse and light green sari ensemble, styled by Neeta Lulla, DP fielded queries from the media as regards her role of rebel Kalpana Datta, who took part in the Chittagong Uprising of the 1930s.
Lauding director Ashutosh Gowariker in no uncertain terms DP stated, "Honestly, it has been rather easy for me as Ashu Sir has done a lot of research for all the characters. Right from the film, the events of the film the details of every event. The saris, the blouse, the hairstyle, the size of the 'bindi', how many bangles I'll wearing on which hand, every minute detail was decided. The only thing we had to work on was body language and how Kalpana Datta will carry herself and how she would react in certain situations."
Added she, "Kalpana was a very strong woman and we have discussed about how it could be got across on screen. But most of the times, Ashu Sir did a lot of research for most of us, which made it all very simple for us."
There was no deficit of praise from Gowariker either as regards his lead actor as he stated, "How much ever research I do, it is finally the actor that gives it the body and its believability, makes it come alive. So I would say that yes, I did do the research, but ultimately it is the actors who helped pull it off."
