Nusrat Itnroz Tisha is a popular name in both small screen and cinema. The model-cum-actress is playing against Shakib Khan in an upcoming film called "Mental". The duo will appear as an on screen couple for the first time through the film. Tisha recently spoke to Star Arts & Entertainment about her new cinema.

When did you begin shooting for "Mental"? Tisha: We started filming on December 11. Tell us about the role you are playing?

Tisha: I am playing a crime reporter named Simi. She is a rough and tough woman who enjoys dealing with serious assignments. Simi loves challenging tasks and takes risks as well.

How does it feel to work outside Chabial?

Tisha: I am enjoying the work. The script is nice, and most importantly, I am working outside my comfort zone and I came outside my typecast in "Mental". Though I had doubts that I might not be able to adjust outside my comfort zone, I am working in the same way I used to do. We have a very good unit.

Have you done any homework for the role you are playing?

Tisha: I have not worked after last Eid since I was busy with preparing myself for the role of Simi. I have worked hard for the film.

What is like to work with Shakib Khan?

Tisha: Shakib Khan is a very professional artiste; very cooperative. It feels good to work with him. We have worked for a short time, and I already have a good sync with Shakib Khan.
