In Shobhana 7 Nights, Raveena plays a 40-something columnist-author who is abused by her husband (played by Rohit Roy). She finds solace in a young man(Amit Purohit), one of the many strugglers in Bollywood.
It’s being reported that Raveena’s character gets into an intense relationship with her boytoy, played by newcomer Amit Purohit.
Raveena's first reaction was to turn down the role since the character was a bit bold as she hasn’t attempted a kissing or a love making scene so far in her career. The thought of doing a film where she gets into a relationship with a younger man freaked her out.
Two things convinced Raveena to take up the role. One was Chattopadhyaya’s earlier film (Pankh) that left her impressed with his work. Further, Tandon was reportedly challenged by the role in Shobhana 7 Nights.
“The director assured Raveena that this could get her the second National Award if she attempted the role. She had reason to disbelieve him,” says the source.
When contacted, Raveena confirmed that she will take the challenge head on. “I haven’t done anything like this. As a performing artiste, I need to explore characters unlike those I have portrayed. It is a bold subject but I’m spared sleazy scenes,” she says.
