Priya Banerjee has never been one to gravitate towards conventional female characters. The actress, who was seen in Candy and the Pizza Ggirl, says she is particularly fascinated by women who are flawed, unpredictable and layered. Speaking about her character in the film, Priya revealed that the story revolves around an unusual obsession.
She said, “The story is about my character who loves pizza. The whole movie is based on one night. She ends up meeting random people and tempts them to reach her goal, a pizza. She fakes being who she is.”
She added that the seemingly simple premise takes audiences on a surprising journey. “When you start watching the film, you realise that the character would do anything for a pizza. The extent of what she does for pizza is hilarious. The end is very sad though. Everyone is going to cry for me,” Priya shared.
For Priya, the appeal of the role lies in its eccentricity and unpredictability. The actress admits she has always been attracted to characters that break away from traditional stereotypes. “I love Pulp Fiction kind of roles. I love crazy roles. I love roles where the woman is an absolute psychopath. Those are fun to play. I have always been attracted to these roles with some character,” she said.
She also reflected on how her preferences as an actor have evolved over the years, particularly when it comes to portraying women on screen. “The roles where the girl is dancing and waiting to be saved by the hero does not work for me. I had done that initially when I had moved to India. Women have so many shades. I enjoy roles where women have the freedom to portray all the shades. I don’t want to play the mundane characters,” Priya added.
