. It was definitely challenging work for me. And the other one, Dhulo Bali Kotha, is by my dear friend Biplab Bandyopadhyay. He is an eminent theatre personality who debuted with this film. It was again a very interesting work. I am elated that two films that I have worked in are selected and competing in this prestigious festival.
