Kanchan Mullick debuts as director on stage

Kanchan Mullick, the quintessential comedian of Bengali cinema, is back on stage and how! After making his mark as an actor, Kanchan has finally made his directorial debut with Bratya Basu’s

Ekdin Aladin

with

Paikpara Indraranga

.

“I just realised that directing is not an easy job. You will become like a konyadayegrostho pita. From lights and sets to the acting department — you have to take care of everything,” Kanchan told us.

Ekdin Aladin is a slapstick comedy — a new flavour for Indraranga. The play was staged earlier under the direction of Premangshu Roy. But playwright Bratya Basu took away the rights from him after Premangshu was marred by controversy.
