Mumbai: She famously stripped naked for her debut film `Bandit Queen` 17 years ago and acclaimed actress Seema Biswas will go nude on screen again for her latest, `Tomorrow`, which explores the underworld of Mumbai.
The 46-year-old actress said that the naked scenes in her first film, including a gang rape, were tough but she went ahead in a bid to bring Phoolan Devi, the infamous dacoit, to life.
"`Bandit Queen` was like reliving the life of Phoolan Devi and she was brutally gang raped. However, many people saw sex and glamour even in that crime. I tried to be as convincing and real as possible for my viewers," the National Award winning actress told reporters.
It was again in the pursuit of a realistic portrayal that the actress agreed to film the nude scenes in `Tomorrow` where she plays the mother of a young man, caught between the forces of terrorism and the under world.
"It was the requirement of the story and I agreed," said Biswas who began her career on stage and was spotted by `Bandit Queen` director Shekhar Kapur while on stage in `Khoobsoorat Bahu`, a play produced by NSD Repertory Company.
The actress has since gone onto prove her versatility in a variety of roles and languages, including films in Marathi, Malayalam, Assamese and Tamil.
"I want to do different sort of roles as I don`t want to be typecast," said Biswas adding that her upcoming films are as different from each other as chalk and cheese.
While Rahul Dholakia`s `Society` is a comedy revolving around an apartment, `Tomorrow` is a dark thriller, which traces the various terror attacks on Mumbai, from the 1993 blasts to 26/11 attacks in 2008.
