With the critical acclaim for her work in 'The Night of the Interview', popular Tollywood actress Pallabi Chatterjee is all set to turn up in the next Hindi flick Gameplan.

"Gameplan is a social thriller with the storyline revolving the life of a family - husband, wife and child," Pallabi, daughter of veteran actor Biswajit Chatterjee told PTI here.

Pallabi, who recalled how she had to go to blind school to grasp the world of the visually impaired and perfect their typical eyeball movement for 'The Night After Interview', said, "I play a blind writer in the film."

The acclaimed actor, having also turned up in Anjan Dutta's Ganesh Talkies earlier, was talking on the sidelines of Fashion Vineyard.
 

Disapproving the trend among the present generation of actresses to wear "Common casuals similar to the ones flaunted by the young women on the street," Pallabi said.

"I am not suggesting you can't don tank tops, kurtis, complemented by trousers, but since you are into show biz be a little more hatke," she said.

Fashion is always influenced by the contemporary sops, she said recalling how she has seen moms and daughters asking the boutique owner or neighbourhood 'ustagar' to stitch a dress on the lines of the lead female character.

"I love funky accessories which can be worn on any occasion while the dresses can't be the same throughout the day. More for people in showbiz, your robes change in morning, afternoon and evening times," Pallabi, having been part of Rituparno Ghosh's Dosar, said.

"Unlike few years back, Kolkata girls are becoming more bold in fashion statements making a blend of casual and party accessories, apparel and footwear which is recognized nationally," she recalled about going round the Lifestyle - Fashion Vineyard show.
