Konkona Sen Sharma&rsquo;s upcoming film by Vishal Bhardwaj has a strong Bengal connect. The film, which is based on Koko&rsquo;s dad Mukul Sharma&rsquo;s book, dwells on the subject of witchcraft, a practice rampant in West Bengal. <img alt="Konkona Sen Sharma" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/feb/Konkona-Sen-Sharma.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 661px;" /> Sources say that Mukul, being a writer, had picked up nuances of the practice of witchcraft after closely observing alleged witches. Konkona too grew up in Kolkata and is said to have an in-depth knowledge of the craft that helped her play her role in this film. A source says, &ldquo;Director Kannan Iyer was confident that Konkana would absorb the concept of the role very well.&rdquo; Iyer states, &ldquo;The whole concept of the witches is a rural folklore and since everything around us is so urbanised, they seem to be a distant phenomena. Konkona was well versed with the whole idea of witchcraft.&rdquo; Koko plays a suspected witch in the film. According to the director, the actress gave several pointers to the team in terms of a witch&rsquo;s style of walking, costumes and body language. u00a0
