Arun Roy plans his next after 'Egaro'
The ���������Egaro��������� director���������s next will be on those indirectly affected when there is a terror attack.
Arun Roy, whose ���������Egaro��������� won critical acclaim for its subject and execution, is busy planning his next. ���������Post-the success of ���������Egaro���������, producers approached me for films based on either patriotism or sports.

But, I have no such intention as far as my next is concerned,��������� says the director, adding, ���������A terror attack has far-reaching consequences. It indirectly harms many who might have nothing to do with the attack. My story is about these people.��������� This time around too, Arun intends to have multiple characters and incidents in his as-yetuntitled venture. ���������A news about a blast at Connaught Place in Delhi triggered this thought. The report said that the injured were taken to a hospital barring a Muslim guy. He was brought to the police station instead, for interrogation. His crime was the fact that he was present on the blast site.���������
Though the incident happened several years ago, the director wants to raise a question. ���������Fingers are always pointed towards the man with a beard. You might know your Muslim neighbour for ages. But, if a cop comes and says that he is behind some terrorist activity, seeds of suspicion are sown. I want my film to be a confession about this fact,��������� adds Arun, who will have Dipannita Ghosh Mukhopadhyay pen the dialogues for the same. ���������My characters are based in Kolkata. But, this problem is universal. Hence, I want to take it up,��������� says Arun.
As for the cast, he intends to work with ���������the ���������Egaro��������� team���������. ���������But, I am eager to have Rahul on board for one character,��������� the film-maker signs off.
