Sharmila's Bengali film 

Sharmila has returned to Bengali films playing a role in Puratawn, directed by Suman Ghosh, after 15 years. Speaking with Money Control, Suman talked about Sharmila’s character in the film. He said that the actor plays an elder’s role who will celebrate her 80th birthday. Rituparna is seen in the role of her daughter and Indraneil Sengupta plays her son-in-law.

Recalling his conversation with Sharmila, Ghosh said, "She was very diligent. When I went to her house in Delhi, when I was talking about the film, she had told me that, aamake chhedona kintu (don’t be lenient with me), even if you feel so, unless you are 100 per cent happy. And that was amazing because at this age and this level of our career, that striving for perfection…we never realised that we were working with such a legend on the set."
