Konkana Sen Sharma who jhas proved herself in the past with films like “Wake up Sid”, “Ek Thi Daayan” and “Talvar” says its an honour to have your film featured at MAMI.
The actress has her debut directorial “A Death in the Gunj” to premiere at the opening ceremony of the Jio MAMI festival.
“I am really excited for my first feature film. It’s a great honour that the film is the opening film for MAMI. It’s also nerve-wracking because it’s the first public screening in India. I hope audience like it,” an excited Konkana said.
When asked about which is more difficult acting or directing she said “Acting and direction both have difficulties. There are things about acting and direction which are enjoyable and interesting as well. I think both are challenging for me. I can’t compare,” Konkana said at the 18th Jio Mami Film Festival.
“You get to exercise a lot more control and many more choices. Also, it is terrifying as there are so many responsibilities. I think there are pros and cons to both, be it acting or direction,” the 36-year-old added.
“A Death in the Gunj” stars an ensemble cast of Vikrant Massey, Tillotama Shome, Om Puri, Tanuja, Gulshan Devaiah, Kalki Koechlin, Jim Sarbh, and Ranvir Shorey.
The film is about a family holiday where they land up in a soup.
