"'Shajarur Kanta' was a big challenge for me because it is a detective film, plus a love story," Konkona Sen Sharma told IANS.
"Byomkesh Bakshi stories are historic and every Bengali knows them very well, and they have been waiting for screen adaptation. It is a popular short love story, plus Byomkesh Bakshi is the flavour of the season. Our Byomkesh Bakshi is different from others as he is older," she said.
