The Kolkata chapter of the shoot of
Samsara
took 11 days to complete. “We shot in 24 locations in 11 days and it was a huge deal!” said
Sudeshna Roy, who directed the film with
Abhijit Guha. But the unit had an eerie experience while shooting at a golf course in the city. “There was a night shoot at a golf club, where we felt the presence of an extra energy. Nothing could explain the feeling. The entire unit was waiting far and only a few of us were at a deserted corner. We had to shoot the interiors of a rest room at the golf club and it was eerie. The entire golf course could be seen from that, and it really wore a strange look that night. Also, it was 2 am and even though the temperature in Kolkata was a little above 10° C, it was 7 degrees at that place. Even the roots of my hair felt cold in January,” the directed recalled. Samsara is about three not-so-young friends —
Ritwick
, Rahul and Indrajit. Each of them has developed differently. When they meet up, they understand the crisis faced by the writer among them (Ritwick) and embarks on a journey to discover the unknown. The writer is a strange character, who gets visions; he doesn’t know if they are true or not. The other two help him find the truth. The cast also includes, Ambarish Bhattacharya,
Samadarshi
Dutta, Sudiptaa Chakraborty, Tnusree Chakraborty, Devlina Kumar and Arja Banerjee.
