Impressed myself with my footage: Puja Chery

The Puja Chery starrer film "Lipstick" is scheduled to be wrapping up on Saturday after almost seven months of filming. The movie was reportedly filmed in three phases across several locations in the country, including Dhaka and Manikganj. Notably, Puja Chery takes on the mantle of two leading roles in it — one as a rural girl known as Buchi and the other as a Dhallywood heroine named Madhuri.

When questioned about portraying two distinct characters, Puja remarked, "I'm not accustomed to portraying a girl from the rural area, but staying in the village during filming made it somewhat easier to embody the character. Interestingly, when I wore the attire and makeup of the village girl, I could understand why I felt like one. Everyone on the set would comment, 'You're the perfect village girl!' As for the role of the heroine, it wasn't challenging for me. Acting is my profession."

This project marks Puja's first experience portraying two contrasting roles, at the same time. Reflecting on this, she commented, "It was quite a challenging endeavour for me. On one hand, I portrayed a rural teenager, while on the other, I embodied a renowned movie heroine. Both characters demanded a significant shift in persona. I attempted to deliver my best performance and aimed to render the two characters distinct from each other, ensuring that audiences could discern the contrast while watching in the theatre."
