Bollywood actress Seema Biswas, who rose to fame with her compelling performance in Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen, will soon make her television debut with Maha Kumbh.
Confirming her foray into the small screen, Biswas told reporters in Kochi that she had taken up the project on a friend’s request.
The shooting was likely to be in Varanasi, but it has been held up due to rains, she said.
The acclaimed actor said she was still waiting for roles that would challenge her.
Biswas, who has to her credit a Malayalam film Shantam, said if good offers came, she would like to do more films in the language.
She is in Kochi to perform a one-act play StreerPatra, a Hindi adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore’s drama, on Thursday. The 45-minute Hindi play is directed by Biswas.
