14 Oct
Summary
- Rasika Dugal transitions from intense Beena Tripathi to gentle Jessie Miranda.
- She learned piano for months, mastering classical pieces for her role.
- The actress balanced filming horror shows with piano preparation.
Actress Rasika Dugal is embracing a new character, Jessie Miranda, in the upcoming film 'Little Thomas.' This role offers a distinct departure from her well-known portrayal of Beena Tripathi in 'Mirzapur,' allowing Dugal to explore a softer, more emotionally nuanced performance.
Set in 1990s Goa, 'Little Thomas' centers on a young boy and his family, with Dugal playing Jessie, a mother deeply connected to her family, bakery, and music. The actress made a conscious effort to develop Jessie's unique identity, even mastering the piano for the role.
Dugal spent four months learning classical piano pieces by composers like Mozart and Chopin. This preparation, alongside dialect coaching for a Goan accent, was crucial in distinguishing Jessie from Beena Tripathi, whose world is driven by survival and power.
Interestingly, Dugal managed this intensive preparation while also filming scenes for a horror show. She found joy in balancing the contrasting genres, noting how Jessie's passion for music provided an unexpected entry into understanding the character's world.
