Kolkata/IBNS: Regarding his upcoming film Sraboner Dhara- screened at the 25th Kolkata International Film Festival- the core subject of which is Alzheimer, veteran actor Soumitra Chatterjee said it is his responsibility as an artist to portray reality honestly after witnessing patients suffering from the disease closely.
"After watching people suffering from Alzheimer closely, it becomes my responsibility as an actor to portray reality honestly," said Chatterjee.
