Director Bappaditya Bandyopadhyay recently announced his new Bengali
film 'KOLKATA 2012' at Peerless Inn. It is a film comprising seven
stories with a common link. The director of recently released Elar
Char Adhyay, Bappaditya said, "A city does not necessarily mean roads,
buildings and festivals. It's about the people who live in that city.
Kolkata doesn't only belong to the people who regularly appear on Page
3 but also is about people with uncommon professions. I've often hated
this city for several reasons, but I can't deny the strong bond I
share with Kolkata. My relationship with the city continues to grow
with each passing day." He also said about the characters of the film.
"There is a Chinese girl who makes chilli sauce and can speak Bengali
fluently. There's a female bus conductor and also a boy who falls in
love with the Chinese girl because he loves to eat chowmein. I know it
sounds weird, but I'm trying to reveal the fascinating side of the
city through these strange characters,"
The film's cast comprises Rahul, Priyanka, Rudranil Ghosh, Mumtaz
Sorcar, Rupa Bhattacharya, Bhaswar Chatterjee, Dolon Roy, Puspita
Mukherjee and Krishna. Rupa plays a bus conductor in the film. The
film will release at the end of this year. --
