Riddhi starts dubbing for his directorial debut

After a brief hiatus during the

lockdown

, Riddhi Sen has finally started dubbing for his directorial debut, Coldfire. Based on Nabarun Bhattacharya’s short story, the film feature Kaushik Sen and Somak Ghosh. Reshmi Sen will be seen in a cameo. Rwitobroto Mukherjee has assisted Riddhi in the project.

On the first day of dubbing, Riddhi wrote on his social media, “One of the most enjoyable parts of making a film started today, a script is re-written so many times, on floor, inside the edit room and inside the dubbing studio. Often dubbing is considered to be unscientific ,

sync sound

is considered to be the most authentic and ‘human’ way of approaching acting , the on-location sound is hard to recreate, but still dubbing ends up to be a process of self discovery, both for an actor and a filmmaker, the entire interpretation of acting and storytelling can entirely change at times during this beautiful process called ‘dubbing ‘. I have been to a dubbing studio several times but today I felt like I went back to my first day and it was an inexplicable feeling. And there are very few people in India who can re create the ‘on floor’ moment inside a sound studio and one of them is Aural Workstation , the way they blend in the actor’s lines with the background is simply masterful, seamless and rare , something which is absent in most of the films which are dubbed . I’m grateful and immensely happy to work with Anindit Roy, Adeep Singh Manki and TanmoySaha . The first day of ‘Coldfire’s’ dubbing ! (sic)”

Elaborating on the film, the actor said, “I read the short story when I was very young and wanted to work on it. In 2017, my maternal grandfather passed away and it was my first visit to a crematorium. My life changed after that and it was that moment when I was absolutely sure about making this film.”
