    Film on Tagore’s life in offing

    MUMBAI: Siddhant Cinevision has bought the rights of Sunil Gangopadhyay’s controversial novel Ranu O Bhanu based on Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore’s life.


    The novel is one of the most controversial of recent times as it is said that Ranu O Ranu explores Tagore’s romantic relationship with his sister-in-law.


    Finding it rather interesting, producer Manish Goswami has decided to make a film based on it. The producer wants to keep everything rather hush-hush at the moment. But he has made his intention clear of casting Amitabh Bachchan in Tagore’s role.


    Selection of cast and crew is in progress.

    Aparajita Tumi releasing this month

    MUMBAI: National-award-winning filmmaker Aniruddha Roy Choudhury’s Aparajita Tumi is set to release this month.

    Based on a story titled Dui Nari Hatey Torobari by eminent writer Sunil Gangopadhyay, the film is a take-off where the characters go beyond the realm of right or wrong, in their quest for own private space and happiness.

    The film dwells on the lives of two NRI couples and the problems in their relationship, said the director whose earlier films Anuranan (resonance) and Antaheen (The endless wait) were well received and annexed national awards.

    The film has Prosenjit Chatterjee, Padmapriya and Kamalinee (both known names in South Indian films).

    The film has tracks by Shreya Ghosal, Hamsika Iyer, Monali Thakur, Bengali singer Anindyo chatterjee and new age Bengali singer Rupankar.

    With this film, Choudhury has turned his focus on Bengali diaspora in San Francisco.
