I am scared of ghosts: Anik Dutta

Anik Dutta���������s debut film, ���������Bhooter Bhobishyat���������, is a full-on-comedy on ghosts being evicted from an old house, bought by a promoter to make it into a multi-storied apartment.
The ghosts find it difficult to get hold of a new place to stay. We asked Anik if there is any underlying political satire in the film. ���������One is welcome to read between the lines.But yes, the film also operates on a realistic level with all the ingredients of a masala flick. Two parallel stories run through ���������BB��������� and ultimately merge at one level. It���������s actually a film within a film,��������� said Anik. Does he believe in ghost in real life? ���������I don���������t believe in ghosts but I am scared of them!
I���������ve had weird incidents in my life where my reasoning failed. In fact, a strange thing happened when Avik (Mukhopadhyay), the DOP of the film, my two assistants and I were travelling to Sreerampore on a rainy night to shoot for ���������BB���������. There were no vehicles in close vicinity but suddenly, we saw a truck appear out of nowhere behind our car. And trust me, we saw ���������Avik��������� and ���������Anik��������� written on the face of the truck. It���������s weird that a truck driver���������s name would be Avik and Anik, the same as ours. We were numb and just after a second, the truck disappeared. Later, we joked that the truck drivers must be failed film-makers and that it was just a glimpse of our futures,��������� smiled the director.
