My stint with stage came back during shoots of Natoker Moto : Saswata

Saswata, who recalls the heady days at the early stage of his life when reading a play, savouring 'muri-chachur' in the rehearsal room was so very Bengali and theatrical, says that informality has been recreated in the present film which dwells on the 60s and 70s.
  
"I have not seen that era, I have only heard about it. But being in Charbak and in another group later on - for a period of six-eight years - I know how a theatre group works. I transferred that feeling onto screen," Saswata says.
  
Asked if his character in the film bore resemblance with anyone, Saswata says, "My next upcoming Natoker Mato is less of a biopic on the life of an acclaimed and more of a fictional which portrays the batle for recognition of a female theatre activist."
  
Saswata, who remembers how a real life theatre personality has to battle for recognition, says may be the outward manifestations has changed, but "the battle will be there across ages for everybody."
  
About any similarities between the role in Meghe Dhaka Tara again projecting the 60s Bengal and Natoker Moto, Saswata says, "The similarities are that both shoots had taken place in a real time historic auditorium Muktangan.
  
Such theatres are becoming a rarity in the city now," Saswata says adding "it was not very difficult to enter into the zones of Ritwik Ghatak in Meghe Dhaka Tara or the fictional playwright in Natoker Moto."
   
The film, produced by Friends Communication, also stars Sayani Ghosh
