Bengali directors have certain sensibility: Big B

Date:

From Hrishikesh Mukherjee in the ’70s to Shoojit Sircar in 2016, megastar Amitabh Bachchan has worked with a host of Bengali filmmakers in his career and the actor says it’s a privilege to work with them because they have an ability to touch a certain nerve.

The 73-year-old actor recently starred in Shoojit’s production “Pink“, which has been directed by Bengali director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury. “Since Mrinalda’s (Mirnal Sen) ‘Bhuban Shome’, where I did a voice-over, I have worked with almost every Bengali director right up to now and I continue to work with them– from Hrishida, Shakti Samanta, Promod Chakraborty, Dulal Guha, Basuda (Basu Chatterjee) and now Shoojit. “They have decided to choose me and that is a privilege. In fact, there is a certain sensibility which Bengali directors have. They are able to touch a certain nerve,” Bachchan said during a promotional media event for “Pink” Thursday evening.

“Every film with courtroom scenes in most of the Hindi films, there is a lot of drama, I am sorry to say. But in ‘Pink’, the dialogues were very normal, almost casual and from the audience’s response that had worked.”
