Mumtaz plays the third gender

The Bong beauty Mumtaz Sorcar, who was recently seen as a boxer in Salaa Khadoos, is ready to shock and surprise everyone by essaying role of the third gender in Amitava Bhattacharya’s next Conditions Apply.

Reportedly, she will be playing the role of Chitrangada, a renowned actress in the Bengali film industry. The film will chronicle her journey of how her acting career comes to a halt once her sexual orientation becomes the talk of the town.

Mumtaz shared, “It’s a film on the third gender. The topic is a bit risky. If the movie is not made properly then the result will be a complete mess. I was a bit tensed about how the story would be knitted. The character of Chitrangada is difficult to portray. Actresses usually do not play such roles. Many even wondered why I had agreed to do such a role.”

She added, “I always try to do roles, which are different and out of the box. After I had gone through the script, I was mesmerized. I couldn’t find one single reason for which I could say no. I would rather say that I am really excited about the project, but I am also a bit anxious as this is not the character of a typical heroine,” she signed off.
