Pallavi Joshi is set to portray Ma Bharati in her upcoming film,The Bengal Files, a role she calls one of her “biggest challenges,” in her career of over three decades. Talking about how she prepared for her look and why she sacrificed her skin care routine for it, Pallavi, shared, “My only reference was my dadi. I remember her very old, but very sweet at the same time. We worked on the look for almost six months. I gave up all skin care during this period to make my skin appear dry. Every day I sat down working on Ma Bharati’s character, her dementia, until it became a muscle memory. Our technical team also put their efforts into helping me to their fullest. And the end result is for all to see,” she said. Originally titled The Delhi Files, The Bengal Chapter, is written by Vivek Agnihotri. The film also stars Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, and Darshan Kumar in pivotal roles. It is part of the director’s Files trilogy, which includes The Tashkent Files (2019)
and The Kashmir Files (2022). The film is directed by Vivek and is scheduled to release in cinemas on September 5.
