Renuka Shahane’s look in her forthcomin­g film 3 Storeys has grabbed eyeballs after the makers released the trailer of the film yesterday. The veteran actor’s character — that of an aged Goan lady named Flory Mendonca is actually inspired by a real life middleaged woman by the same name, reveal makers.

A source from the film’s unit says, “The veteran actress, who is seen playing an aged Goan has taken nuances of the character from a real life person. Her body language, dialect and the look of her character is inspired by Flory. In fact, this look of hers is so different that it has taken everyone aback. Renuka is mostly been seen in roles that require her to play real characters.”
