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.
