After Sweater, Shieladitya Moulik is once again gearing up to present his audience with a warm surprise. The director is ready to go on the floors with his next from this month. The yet untitled film stars Arpita,
Saheb Chatterjee and Prantik Banerjee in the lead. Produced by Paradise Film Production Company, it is a romantic story that questions the stereotypical notions of love that we’ve lived with for generations.
“The film will see Arpita, Saheb and Prantik in a never-seen-before avatar. Compared to my debut film, Sweater, this one will have a wider emotional reach. The actors are attending workshops to fit into their characters. No matter how complicated the subject is, I always try to narrate it in the simplest of ways. I don’t want my audience to break their heads for decoding scenes. And for that, dialogues must be relatable,” said Shieladitya.
Speaking further about the film, which will be shot in Kolkata and Arunachal Pradesh, the director said, “It’s a love triangle penned by me that will question the age-old belief that heart is where all the emotions originate. The film will also question if love is a game of the mind or heart.” Arpita is very happy to be part of the film. “It questions the stereotypical notions of love. Is heart the main source for love? Does your heart ache when love ends? Does it really beat faster with joy when you see your beloved? Does heart have a mind of its own? We have tried to answer all this in our film,” she said. Saheb, who loved the story, said, “The way the director has dealt with the concept of love is just amazing. Whether my character is guided by heart or mind in terms of love is something I can’t disclose right now.”
