Talented actress Konkona Sen Sharma is playing her first comic role in Bengali director Rituparno Ghosh's "Sunglass" and hopes audiences will find her funny too.

After garnering praise for her serious roles, was it easy to switch to comedy?

"I play a young housewife in 'Sunglass'. It's a fairy tale kind of a character. I've never done something like this before. Comedy depends on various factors. Different people find different things funny. I think today's audience finds slapstick comedy very funny.

"Comedy wasn't really tough though I don't know if it'll work," Konkona said.

"I hope others find it funny too," she added.

She clarified that she is only lip-synching in the film and not singing as misquoted earlier.

Konkona, who has worked with Ghosh in "Titli" and "Dosar" earlier, cannot stop raving about Irrfan Khan, her co-star in "Deadline - Sirf 24 Ghante" and upcoming films "Metro" and "Meridien".

"Irrfan is one of the best actors we have today. I just love working with him. Moreover, Tanveer Khan is a very enthusiastic director and the narration he gave was so gripping that I just took it up."

Her next film "Metro" is about life and love in a cosmopolitan city like Mumbai.

"I play a woman who's going to turn 30 and she realises that she's still a virgin. She realises that she's single and still not married. She likes a few guys but no one likes her."

She has a cameo in "Meridien" and plays a sex worker in "Traffic Signal". Up next is Pradeep Sarkar's film also starring Rani Mukerji and Jaya Bachchan.

Interestingly, Jaya plays her mother again (Konkona plays Jaya's daughter in "Sunglass"), though the mother-daughter relationship is completely different in terms of character and context.

"I was really looking forward to working with Jaya Bachchan. I've met her a couple of times and I was excited about working with her. She is caring and great to work with. It feels like I've known her for a long time. I liked her films 'Guddi' and 'Abhimaan'."

Considering "Metro" and Yash Raj's film, is Konkona gradually shifting base to commercial films?

"I want to do films that I enjoy doing. I don't care if it's a big banner or a small banner. Eventually, the project has to excite me. The script has to excite me. I constantly want to try things that I haven't attempted before."
