Just like his acting or directorial or the causes he loves to associate himself with,
Rahul Bose loves to choose his words very carefully. As a matter of fact, acting has saw him flourishing in films from different languages – be it Bengali, Kannada, Tamil or Malayalam. However, most of his films apart from the Bollywood ones have been in Bengali.
Looking back at his innings as an actor, the versatile actor reveals Aparna Sen’s ‘
The Japanese Wife
’, in which he was seen as a rural Bengal school teacher who marries his Japanese pen friend, is so far his best work. “I had to travel a long distance to portray Snehmoy Chatterjee,” he says adding, “And
Aparna Sen is still one of the few persons who have actually managed to direct me.
Zoya Akhtar did the same in ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’. I am also lucky to collaborate with talented directors like Sudhir Mishra, Santosh Sivan,
Buddhadev Dasgupta and Govind Nihlani.”
All the three Aparna Sen films he acted in are so close to his heart: “It was amazing sharing the screen with
Konkona Sen Sharma in Mr. and Mrs. Iyer. The character wasn’t that difficult for me, as it’swas quite like me. The other movies we did together, for her mother Aparna, like ‘
15 Park Avenue
’, also turned out well.”
