As the virtual muse in the life of the 'Aam Admi', Telugu heroine Shraddha Das is happy the 'Royal Bengal Tiger' happens to be the launchpad of her stint in Bengali cinema.
"My character traces the journey of Abir's character, The Protagonist Common Man in the film, having frequent mood swings and plays a pivotal role as he faces trials and tribulations during his daily sojourns," Shraddha said here.
Shraddha, whose parents were keen she make a debut in Bengali film after her multi-pronged roles Malayalam cinema besides Telugu, said, "Nothing can be better than featuring in a Neeraj Pandey production on his own script and cast opposite two leading Tollywood stars - Jeet and Abir."
"What else an actor can ask for! A star like Jeet in the cast, who is so down to earth and a sensitive actor like Abir, who is such a charming person. I found the atmosphere and the vibes on set the most convivial," the Hindi flick 'Zid' actor said.
Shraddha, who confessed not having much updates about the Bengali film releases, said, "I wish to watch Boss and also Abir's Byomkesh Bakshi. I can follow Bengali and can speak a bit," she said.
Working with Telugu films for a couple of years, she said having greater command over that dialect is natural but that won't impede her growth in Tollywood in all genres. Abir is the archetypal common man while Jeet is his alter ego, masquerading as 'Uncommon' Friend.
To be released on January 31, Royal Bengal Tiger, starring Jeet and Abir as the two main leads after many years, has been produced by Neeraj Pandey, Viacom 18.
