Sen explained in a press release: "We wanted the audience to feel the suffocation of a century. You can’t look away from Sudipa’s face. Her micro-expressions—a twitch of rage, a tear that doesn’t fall, a whisper of a name—tell the entire story."
For those interested in watching the series:
Sudipa Sleeping Beauty (2022) is an Indian erotic drama web series released as a BindasTimes Original
In Sudipa Sleeping Beauty 2022 , she plays Princess Auroreen (a subtle spelling shift to denote the "Original New" timeline). Sudipa spent six months studying sleep paralysis and catatonic trances to prepare for the role. The result is unsettling. Unlike previous actresses who simply looked "peacefully asleep," Sudipa’s body remains rigid, her eyelids flicker with nightmare-inducing speed, and her breath syncs with the film’s discordant score.
