National award winning filmmaker
Goutam Ghose whose next Hindi directorial ‘
Raahgir
’ will have its world premiere at the Busan Film Festival on October 21 has his hands full with some interesting projects.
Among which one is an Indo-Bangladesh film. The most interesting part is it will most likely feature
Prosenjit Chatterjee in the lead. Incidentally, Goutam Ghosh’s last Bengali film ‘
Sankhachil
’ which won National Award in 2016 also starred Prosenjit in the lead.
“I am planning yet another Indo-Bangladesh venture, which will be in Bengali and will most probably star Prosenjit. Plus, I am currently busy with the pre-production work of an Indo- European trilingual film (English, Hindi and partly Italian) on the adventures of a 12-year-old boy with a socio-political background,” the acclaimed director told us while speaking about his upcoming projects.
He also has a dream project in mind. “I have a dream project of making a historical film on Dara Shikoh, the heir apparent of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, who was killed by Aurangzeb. He was a scholar and was inclined towards a culture of harmony. Had
Dara Shikoh
been the emperor, the history of our land perhaps would have been different,” said Gautam Ghose.
