Since everyone is trying something new in this lockdown period, Shieladitya Moulik decided to use this time directing a film,

Ekti Tara

- The Lonely Star. The film features Paayel Sarkar and Shubro S Das in the lead. “It has been shot with mobile phones of the actors. After penning the script and zeroing in on the actors, we chatted over a

video

call. I explained them how I wanted the shots to be taken. And I must say they did a good job. The film shows a woman getting an unknown phone call from a man. He tells her that he got her number from a Facebook post. She asks the man to make a video call, as she hasn’t met any human being for a while now. The man agrees and the story takes a turn from there,” shared the director, whose film Hridpindo, starring

and Prantik Banerjee, was about to release this Poila Baishak, but got pushed back due to the coronavirus pandemic.
