Anjan Dutt is returning to where it all began—the theatre. After over four decades in cinema, the "Dutta Vs Dutta" star has announced his final stage appearance. His last play, "Aro Ekta Lear", premiered to praise, and is set to return on March 9 again at Kolkata's Gyan Manch. Advance tickets are already available for those eager to witness this final performance.
Known for his long-standing opposition to political interference in the arts, Dutt reiterated his belief that art serves as a unifying force where politics often creates divisions.
Renowned Indian musician Sidhu, the frontman of the band Cactus, has alleged that several tracks by Nachiketa Chakraborty bear musical similarities to existing compositions. To back up his claim, he cited specific examples, including “Nilanjana 1”, one of Nachiketa’s most well-known songs, which he suggested takes inspiration from a piece by the Bangladeshi band Feedback.
For his final act, Dutt chose to turn to William Shakespeare, reimagining “King Lear” in a contemporary context, which he titled “Aro Ekta Lear” (Another Lear).
When “The Bong Connection”, directed by Anjan Dutt, was released in 2006, legendary director Rituparno Ghosh called actor Parambrata Chatterjee and told him that he could never make a film like that. What was so special about the movie that Rituparno himself was envious of the creation?
Set to premiere on 25 November at Kolkata’s Gyan Mancha, the play signifies the end of an era for the beloved artiste.
Inspired by Shakespeare’s “King Lear”, “Aro Ekta Lear” is set to premiere in November, and Dutt believes it’s the perfect piece to bring his theatrical career full circle. “When I perform this play in November, I will be 71 years old,” Dutt said in an interview with an Indian newspaper. “I don’t see myself just as a director. I act in the plays I direct. At my age, the physical demands of theatre are becoming too much, so I thought it was time to make this decision.”
Directed by Parambrata Chattopadhyay, another acclaimed actor-director, the film is slated for release on August 30 in West Bengal cinemas. Additionally, it has a consecutive release on the popular OTT platform Hoichoi.
Renowned filmmaker and screenwriter Aparna Sen is set to collaborate once more with the veteran director and actor Anjan Dutt. Helmed by Parambrata Chatterjee, the production of his latest venture, “Ei Raat Tomar Amar”, has wrapped up.
