Subhrajit Datta will play Byomkesh in Bratya Basu���������s stage adaptation of Artham Onartham.Some time back, the audience got a taste of Subhrajit Datta as Byomkesh Bakshi in Swapan Ghosal���������s ���������Magno Mainak���������. Though the film turned out to be a BO dud, it got the actor a fair share of good reviews. Now, news is that Byomkesh Bakshi will soon be staged.
Directed by
Bratya Basu, the play, a first on Byomkesh, will see Subhrajit getting under the skin of the sleuth.
Confirming the news, the actor said, ���������The play is based on Sharadindu Bandopadhyay���������s Artham Onartham. I have no words to express how I felt when Bratyada offered me this role.���������
So, how did the role come his way? ���������Bratyada conducted an acting workshop when I was doing ���������Raktakarabi��������� . At that time, he assured me that we���������ll work together in future. He watched ���������Magno Mainak��������� and praised my role as Byomkesh. When he planned the stage version of Artham Onartham, he approached me to play Byomkesh,��������� Subhrajit explained.
Artham Onartham revolves around the murder of a landlord. ���������It is in this story where Byomkesh meets Satyabati, rather falls in love with her. Poulomidi , Bratyada���������s wife, is playing Satyabati. We have already done four-five rehearsals and our first show is on March 11 at the Academy of Fine Arts,��������� informed the actor.
