Incidentally, the film is directed by the celebrated sitarist’s husband Joe Wright who is known for Oscar-nominated films like Pride & Prejudice and Atonement both based on novels.u00a0Shot in England for the most part, this project that stars Keira Knightley and Jude Law in the lead roles has Tannishtha playing a gypsy.

“To be frank, I’m having a cameo but my portrayal of a Romanian gypsy named Masha is of considerable significance. After all, Anna Karenina is like the Russian equivalent of Mahabharata. There are many too many characters in it, each guiding the storyline.”u00a0Apparently, the actress bagged the role as “Joe knows her” and she just got a call from him. Talking about her character, Tannishtha is glad that she accepted the offer even though her screen time post-editing is quite minimal.

“I’m thrilled about playing someone with a colourful personality. Also, I’m singing the only musical piece Anoushka has created for the film. She composed a sweet lullaby for the film as the scene demanded it. It was a fabulously rich experience to share the platform with these inspirational achievers.”
