Sushmita Sen will be shortly debuting in Bangala Cinema with Srijit Mukherjee‘s ‘Nirbak’. However, the actress wasn’t well-versed with her mother-tongue as she never interacts with her family members in Bengali. But to maintain the originality of her performance in ‘Nirbhak’, she took up the challenge of learning the language.

It is said that she used to practice the language by thinking in Bengali. As a result, now she is able to communicate in her mother-tongue and will be voicing her own dialogues in her debut film.

Director Srijit believes that when an actor’s voice is dub by any other artist, it reduces the performance by 50 percent. So, he is happy that Sushmita will be voicing her words in his upcoming film.

Interestingly, the late filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh has dubbed in his feminine voice for Aishwarya Rai in ‘Chokher Bali’ and Bipasha Basu in ‘Sob Charitra Kalponik’.
