New Delhi, Nov 11 (PTI) Playing the muse of Raja Ravi Verma is a childhood dream come true for actress Nandana Sen, who is not troubled by the controversies that surround the yet to be released film 'Rang Rasia'. "I have no fears about it," says Nandita, whose sensual portrayal of Sugandha has already created a buzz. The film had problems with the sensor board which had objected to some scenes. However, it was passed after some minor cuts.

"Indian mythological figures have fascinated me since my childhood and through the character of Sugandha I will be portraying all these immortal characters in the movie," says Nandana, who is the daughter of Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen.

Controversies and historical films have a very close relationship. Mehta's last period film "Mangal Pandey" starring Aamir Khan had also faced debacle by various quarters.

Asked about her latest film facing similar fate, Nandana says,"We are not trying to sensationalize the subject. It is a very serious film and we have tried to bring the struggles of Raja Ravi Verma very sensitively.

"It would be ironic if something like that happens to this film as it would be a repeat of what Raja Ravi Verma and Sugandha faced 130 years ago," she says.

Talking about her character and what fascinated her to sign the film, Nandana says she was drawn to the charm that Sugandha possessed as the muse of Raja Ravi Verma.

"Sugandha was a strange mix of child-woman. She was very passionate, loving and sensual girl. She was also a very complex character with a mix of vulnerability and strength, and the fact that she was so beautiful to inspire an artist like Raja Ravi Verma makes her a dream character," says Nandana.
