After impressing audiences with her strong performances in 'Mr. and Mrs. Iyer' and Page 3 , National Award winning actress Konkana Sen is now starring in a thriller.
Konkana plays a traumatised mother in her first thriller 'Deadline', which releases later this year.
Talking to reporters during the shooting of the film's climax, along with co-actors Irfaan Khan and Rajit Kapoor in Mumbai on Tuesday, she said the crux of the story was the kidnapping of her child.
'Deadline' is directed by Tanvir Khan who has earlier made Madhoshi .
''I play Sanjana Goenka, whose child is kidnapped. It's a thriller and I am very excited,'' Konkana said.
Irfaan plays the kidnapper in the film. He was all praise for the talent and abilities of Konkana and felt she had it in her to carry on the legacy of late Smita Patil and Shabana Azmi .
Konkana, daughter of ace film-maker Aparna Sen, had made her debut with a bang in 'Mr. and Mrs. Iyer' for which she won a National Award.
The Madhur Bhandarkar -directed 'Page 3', in which she played a journalist, was also critically acclaimed and won the appreciation at the box office. The film was also honoured with a National Award this year.
