Buddhadeb Dasgupta beginning new film

Buddhadeb Dasgupta, known for films like "Tahader Katha" and "Kaalpurush", is all set to begin shooting his new film "Anwarer Aschorjo Kahini" this Durga Puja with Chandrachur Singh in a lead.
The film deals with the journey of a smalltime sleuth and the script was completed two years back.
Dasgupta said he was busy with the shooting of "Trayodoshi", based on 13 poems of Tagore, and so could not complete the script of "Anwar".
"Now I will solely take up Anwar, with post-production work over in previous films, and shooting will commence by this Durga Puja," he said.
Asked if the film is a thriller, as it is based on small time sleuths who eke out a living in the city, Dasgupta said, "It is a thriller, but not in the usual sense. It is more in sync with my style and vision."
Dasgupta, who will be casting "Maachis" star Chandrachur in an important lead, said the Bollywood actor's personality, his look and eyes weighed the decision in his favour. Shauvik Kundagrami will essay the protagonist Anwar.
"For Anwar's casting decisions, I had to judge the actors' faces. Of course I saw his films and became convinced he is a great actor," he said.
Chandrachur on his part said he had seen 'almost' all of Dasgupta's works, adding that he hopes "Anwarer Aschorjo Kahini" would be as successful as "Maachis" (1995).
