Part of the act

He means ���busy���ness. With a new theatre group to take charge of, a megaserial to act and direct and last but not the least, a film, his third directorial venture (after Raasta and Teesta), with none other than Prosenjit Chatterjee, Bratya Basu is hard-pressed for time.
Talk about the yet-untitled film and the actor/director claims it to be ���a commercial venture, but unlike other commercial ventures���.Prosenjit has already signed on the dotted line but Bratya explains that dates are yet to be worked out. ���We wanted to start shooting in March but Bumbada hasn���t been able to give us dates. The rest of the cast needs to be finalised. I���ve written the script and it has the typical Bratya touch to it.��� He elaborates that he too would be acting in the venture, which is ���far from serious���. ���Like me, it���s part-serious and part-funny,��� Bratya quips.
But before the camera starts rolling, Bratya���s group is sure to be one- production old. He���s been the field of theatre for more than 18 years now and can���t stop gloating about his new group, BratyaJon. ���I was a part of Ganakrishti and Lokkrishti, but they weren���t my groups. In fact, after lending support to Mamata Banerjee on July 21, many theatre groups refused to work with me. By then, I was already toying with the idea of starting a new group. A few corporates are also involved with BratyaJon and they are part of the executive committee.���
With television work too demanding a lot of his time, isn���t it difficult doing the juggling act, we ask. The answer, much to our surprise, is a big NO. ���I���m happy doing all,��� he quips.
If there���s a will, there���s a way, eh?
