Tillotama had to lose weight, needed dialect training for Raahgir – Times of India

Tillotama Shome essays a pivotal role in National-Award winning filmmaker Goutam Ghoses latest Raahgir which was screened at the 25th Kolkata International Film Festival recently. The film also stars Adil Hussain and Neeraj Kabi in the lead and revolves around three strangers Nathuni (Tillotama), Lakhua (Adil) and Chopatlal (Kabi) who cross each others path accidentally on a journey and develop a strong bond. Speaking about her experiences of shooting for the slice-of-a-life drama, the versatile actress says how she was up close with nature and saw the real picture of rural India. I had to lose weight and needed dialect training. That, strangely, was easier to do than come to terms with the abject poverty of the character I had to play. In the middle of a shot at a bus stop, where Lakhua and Nathuni take some much-needed rest, I was overwhelmed by how little they had. I told Goutam, I am not going to play a poor person for some time, as I became nauseatingly aware of my immense privilege. This had never come up in the last twenty years, in such a physical way, said Tillotama. Raahgir was also screened at the Mumbai film festival after its world premiere at the prestigious Busan International Film Festival.
