Suman's encounters with the wild

Suman Banerjee is back shooting from North Bengal. He had gone there to can the shots for a travelogue in a fiction format.
Says the actor, 'This is the first time that I am doing something like this. Directed by Sonali Chakraborty, the name of the show is yet to be finalised. We are just back from Gorumara National Park and I must say that it was quite an experience.Apart from me, there's Prantik, Anindo Banerjee and Sourav in the cast. We play ourselves. The format is such that four friends are off to the jungles as they have been given time off their shooting schedule.'
Ask the actor what was his experience like in the jungles, and he answers, 'We had a great time shooting there. As far as the wildlife is concerned, we did not get to see too much of it except on the last day. On our way back to the station, we were stopped by a herd of elephants that delayed us by half-an-hour.'
Coming back to the show, Suman opines that it has to do about creating an awareness about Nature and wildlife, the do's and don'ts while visiting a sanctuary.
Interestingly, Suman himself is a jungle freak and loves trekking through forests whenever he is free. 'I love the adventure that is associated with being in the wild. In fact, I have been to Doars nearly 25 to 30 times already,' says the director, who loves to walk on the wild side.
