Devi Chowdhurani: Srabanti starts taking training in horse riding

Srabanti Chatterjee has established herself as a versatile actress working in different roles in various films. But this time, it is different from everything. She is going to work on a character straight out of a literary cover: Devi Chowdhurani. Srabanti is giving her full power to portray the character with full diligence. She left no stone unturned to be the Bandit Queen of Bengal. Directed by Subhrajit Mitra, the film also features Prosenjit Chatterjee, Sabyasachi Chakrabarty, and Arjun Chakrabarty.

The shooting will start this November. Srabanti started preparations for this. She has to ride a horse and hence she started learning horse riding on Wednesday. She reached Maidan at 6 am and started her training like an obedient student. 

Was she scared? The actress, in an interview with Anandabazar, said, “Initially I was a bit afraid. But that fear went away and I became a friend of the horse. This is nothing like riding a horse while on a trip. My trainer told me that I performed well on the first day.”

Srabanti said, “I want to go to the set fully prepared. I have to learn the accent style of that time and language.”
