Bengali actor Subrat Dutta, who���������s currently in Pondicheery shooting for Reema Kagti���������s as-yet-untitled film starring Aamir Khan in the lead, is happy with the change that has swept West Bengal. Even if he doesn���������t expect an overnight transformation, the actor is hopeful of a new beginning. Prod him on his expectations from the new government and Subrat says wryly, "First, there has to be roti, kapda and makaan for all.
Entertainment comes much later." There are quite a few areas, the actor explains, that need immediate attention from the Mamata Banerjee government.
"One needs to create large-scale employment in the state. The government also needs to be proactive in holding back its talented youth from moving out of Bengal. Industries need to be attracted, but not at the cost of agriculture," he adds. So, what is that one thing that he wants for the film industry? To this, the actor says, "I feel that slashing entertainment tax rates that will automatically bring down ticket prices, would be a good move for the movie industry. Hope there���������s ���������nabajagaran��������� in each and every stage of our life." Here���������s to a new beginning.
