Abir is sound on technicalities, remembers continuity factor : Sandip Ray
Kolkata, Dec 29 (IBNS) Days before the release of his upcoming 'Monchora', starring Abir Chatterjee along with Raima Sen, director Sandip Ray pays huge compliments to the strapping popular actor saying he has matured over years.
"I had pleasant experiences to work with Abir. He is very obliging and knows the technicalities of acting. His acting is maturing over time," Sandip tells IBNS here.
Pointing out how Abir is always so particular about the continuity factor, Sandip says: "I remember he pointed out he had sipped tea while uttering a word and we had called cut. The next shot, he suggested should begin with that tea sipping scene. He is also mindful about particular wear he was flaunting during a shot and how it was worn."
"As we do inter cut continuity is the key and we all worked as a team," Sandip reminds adding this is his fourth work with the actor.
However, Sandip did not choose Monchora, a Saradindu Bandopadhyay literary work, because of Abir as the grey-shaded protagonist of the film but thought about the actor once the scripting process was underway.
"I love working with Abir no doubt. He had been part of Jekhane Bhuter Bhoy, Char and Badshahi Angti previously. But I don't choose a story keeping Abir in mind. The story comes first and then the character," he says.
This was Sandip's second film with Raima and again he did not settle for the doe-eyed actor because of her on-screen chemistry with Abir but since she fitted the role of Chameli.
"Earlier I worked with Raima in Nishijapon," he says.
"It is a romantic drama with slight hint of mystery," he says about Manchora, produced by Eros International Ltd.
The duo were speaking on the sidelines of Umang 2015, the college fest of Bhavanipore Education Society where the Monchora team egged on the students for watching the film.
Sandip discloses to mark the 50 year of Feluda in publications, there are plans of celebrations.
There will also be a film - comprising two Feluda stories for each half - and "Abir will be my Feluda even if he enacts Byomkesh," Sandip says.
Abir adds, "Yes I can do Feluda and Byomkesh at the same time. Today's audience is intelligent enough."
