Bipasha said the character she played in the film evolved her as a mother.
"The role has really evolved me as a mother, " Bipasha said.
Speaking on the film, Bipasha said: "You need not prepare for a horror role. I think it's a supernatural thriller. "
The actress said, "I am scared of getting type cast. I believe the ratio of doing such movies (horror) is relatively low as compared to the other genres I have done. "
Calling Nawazuddin Siddiqui 'a true gentleman', Bipasha said it was 'wonderful to do a movie with him. '
Recollecting her memories of Kolkata, she said: "I lived in Kolkata till I was 16 years old. I came back to Kolkata last on Durga Puja. I have my friends here. We meet here to enjoy foods of Kolkata. Now-a-days so much of the construction works confuse me to recognize places, " she said.
Nawazuddin, on the other hand, tried to keep at bay his involvement in 'Kahaani-2' and said: "I don't know whether I would be in the movie or not. "
'Aatma'. is all set to hit the silver screen on Mar 22.
