Bollywood actress Kalki Koechlin, who is playing the role of an Anglo-Indian woman in Konkona Sen Sharma’s directorial debut, has picked up a little bit of Bengali for her character.

“I had to learn some Bengali for the film as I am playing a woman who is half Bengali. There are some Bengali words in the film,” Kalki told PTI.

Konkona is making her directorial debut with “A Death In The Gunj”, which also stars Kalki, Ranvir Shorey, Vikrant Massey, Om Puri and Tanuja.

The film traces the journey of five individuals who are on a holiday.

It was shot extensively in McCluskieganj town, near Ranchi, which was once famous for its considerable population of Anglo-Indian community, but has gradually dwindled in numbers after the sixties.
