For Swastika Mukherjee, there was heartbreak in every frame of Qala. In the latest Netflix offering, Swastika plays Urmila Manjushree, a chillingly unkind mother, whose daughter yearns for her love and acceptance. The film also stars Triptii Dimri and marks the debut of Irrfan’s son, Babil.
Swastika said before filmmaker Anvitaa Dutt–in her second directorial outing after Bulbull– offered her the part, the duo had long conversations which ran through the day, where they discussed everything but the film.
