Amrita Chattopadhyay chooses Team Kolkata over Dada

Due to her upcoming projects, actress Amrita Chattopadhyay has no time to watch the IPL, even though she is a die-hard Kolkata fan and never misses a chance to watch Kolkata matches on the ground. She is, however, getting all her match updates from her family members. Besides, she is a huge fan of Sourav Ganguly and after the former captain of the Indian

cricket

team joined the Delhi IPL team as an advisor, she is in a dilemma about who to support during the IPL season.

Amrita said that Debotar Grash, a film by Saibal Mitra, will start shooting from April. Based on Jerome Lawrence and Robert E Lee's play, Inherit The Wind, the film delves into the crisis of Kunal, a biology teacher in a tribal area, who teaches

Darwinism

in school. Soumitra Chatterjee and Nasiruddin Shah are sharing the screen for the first time in this film. “I am really excited and happy to be a part of this project,” Amrita said, adding that another project of her's is starting from May.

“For these reasons, I am unable to follow IPL the way I used to do till last year. But whatever happens, I will support Kolkata,” she said. Talking about the hard choice between Kolkata and Sourav Ganguly, she said that be it is international cricket or IPL, Kolkata has always been synonymous with Ganguly. “And that’s why I never had to choose between these two. But, along with being a Dada fan, she is a Bengali and it is unthinkable for her to support another team in the tournament where Kolkata is taking part. “So, I think I will support Kolkata first and then Delhi,” she added.
