I have always gone with flow," Konkona said in an interview here.

"I am a fan of Seema Pahwa and I wanted to work with her, she is a great artiste. script is so nice and easy to re. Barring fact that re were so many characters and it was a bit complicated, or than it was lovely.  sentiment of film is very good, it gives you continuity of life, how life goes on, how we all go through different phases, people come and go, rituals that we follow, feelings that we all go through. re is a lot of universality and commonality in that."

family drama boasts of talented actors like Nasseruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak, Vinay Pathak, Vikrant Massey and Maj Pahwa among ors. It is slated to release on vember 22. Konkona's ar film, "Dolly Kitty Aur Chamakate Sitare" was shown recently at Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) and actor is happy with response film received.

"I saw film with Korean audience and I think y related to it, y connected to it. I think re is something common about women, women's lives wher it is from developed or underdeveloped country, rich or poor it doesn't matter. I think it permeates through different structures," she said. PTI KKP
