Dibyendu's second coming

His first film is yet to release, but Dibyendu is clearly going great guns. The singer/composer and now actor has been roped in for D Sankaraiyya���������s out-and-out commercial venture, ���������Khokababu���������, that stars Dev and Subhashree.
Dibyendu, who is yet to sign on the dotted line, says, ���������I���������m yet to see the contract. I was told by the production house that the role, which I might play, was not part of the initial script.But when demand for such a character came up, they thought of me.��������� Word, the actor feels, has spread in the industry because of his first venture, ���������Nondinee���������, where he plays a flamboyant photographer in love with a married woman (Swastika Mukherjee). ���������With ���������Nondinee������������������s posters getting good feedback, my look too has been discussed extensively. I���������ve played a major role in the film and that must have gone in my favour,��������� he says thoughtfully.
The actor, who���������s all geared up for his first commercial potboiler, however, isn���������t too familiar with this genre of films. For one, he is yet to watch the Dev-starrer ���������Challenge���������, for which he had sung a number. ���������It���������s true that I haven���������t watched commercial Bengali films. But a role is a role, well beyond the purview of commercial or mainstream cinema, and I���������m bound to give my 100 per cent. Any kind of film is welcome,��������� he reasons.
Dibyendu, who���������s not familiar with the lead actors, is hopeful of getting full support from the unit. ���������I was a novice when I started out with ���������Nondinee���������. The unit had lent me full support because primarily, I���������m a singer and music continues to be my first love. This time too, I am expecting a lot of support from people around me,��������� he adds. Dibyendu, who���������s all set to play the second lead in ���������Khokababu���������, is expected to begin shooting on June 24. Hitting the right note and how!
