Anik Dutta's next ‘
Borunbabur Bondhu
’ starring
Soumitra Chatterjee which was recently selected as the opening film of the Bengali Panorama at the 25th
Kolkata International Film Festival
is all geared up for its theatrical release.
Based on Ramapada Chowdhury's story Chhad, the film revolves around an octogenarian, played by Soumitra, who has somehow isolated himself from the society and his immediate family except a close friend who visits him regularly and his grandson. Soon others too start avoiding him since he is a quite aloof and reclusive and sometimes abrasive.
"Soumitra da's character can’t adjust to things around him though he is very modern in his thinking and outlook and sees a lot of regressive things going around. But suddenly something happens when an old friend shows up and Borun becomes very important to everyone. He doesn't like this sudden attention and the story proceeds from there," explains Anik Dutta whose last film ‘Bhabishyater Bhoot’ was marred by controversy.
Produced by Surinder Films, the film also stars Arpita Chatterjee,
Ritwick Chakraborty,
Madhabi Mukherjee, Paran Bandyopadhyay, Sreelekha Mitra,
Kaushik Sen and Bidipta Chakraborty among others.
