Rituparno floored Nrisingha Prasad Bhaduri with his knowledge!
In his final years, Rituparno Ghosh wanted to make a film on The Mahabharata and expressed the desire to read the Indian epic under the supervision of Nrisingha Prasad Bhaduri, an Indologist and a specialist of Puranas. He was the editor of a Sunday magazine and assigned friend Debajyoti Mishra to contact Bhaduri, as calling himself would mean he wanted articles from the man. “Ritu said, ‘Tui niye aye’. Nrisingha Prasad Bhaduri, on the other hand, was sceptical about Ritu’s mood swings that he had possibly heard of. On our way to Ritu’s Indrani Park residence that’s what he was telling me. But once we reached, I could smell of incense from outside. Ritu was all set for a date with The Mahabharata,” said Debajyoti. Recalling moments from that evening, the composer said the filmmaker was excited like a child. “Ritu flooded him with questions and later Nrisingha Prasad Bhaduri told me how amazed he was by Ritu’s knowledge of the epic. He was a storehouse of knowledge and loved those who took keen interest in academics. Later, he would go to Nrisingha Prasad Bhaduri’s home for further studies,” said the composer.
