Atul Kulkarni heaps praise on Kankana Chakraborty’s ‘Anurup’

Recently Kankana Chakraborty’s much talked about short film ‘Anurup’ (Mirror Image) had a special screening in the august presence of director Kankana Chakraborty, actors Sabyasachi Chakrabarty, Mithu Chakrabarty, Sagardweep Deb and others. However, the main attraction of the guest list was Bollywood actor Atul Kulkarni.
Atul came to Kolkata after a long time and the versatile actor was full of praise for the director and he also recalled the good old days when Kankana used to meet her as an actress.“Kankana narrated me stories so wonderfully that I asked her to pursue direction as she was a wonderful story teller. We do not have so many great story tellers in the industry. I am glad she pursued direction and has been making wonderful short films” said the noted actor.
He further added: “In order to be a good director, you also need to be a good entrepreneur because the director is in charge of everything and everyone on the sets. That’s why being a good storyteller is just not enough to be a good director.”
‘Anurup’ beautifully narrates the story of a father and daughter who have been estranged for six long years. However, they are now poised to meet each other. What happens next forms the crux of the story.
