SWITCHING CAMPS ?
Tired of allegations of being a copycat director, Raj Chakrabarty has decided to make Le Chakka... that’s based on Padmanabha Dasgupta’s original story. This film, by the way, will also be Raj’s first under a new banner .
This one could be a real Challenge for Tollywood’s most sought-after director. After having set the cash registers jingling with Chirodini... Tumi Je Amar, Challenge and the morerecent Prem Amar, all with Shree Venkatesh Films, Raj Chakrabarty is set to spread his wings. Buzz is that he will be directing his next, Le Chakka..., with another production house. Though it’s way too early to claim that Raj has switched camps, his choice of making a film with another banner is big news in the industry.
When CT got in touch with the director, he confirmed saying, “I am doing my next under Srijon’s banner. With the script and story by Padmanabha Dasgupta, this one will again have the Dev-Payel pair after they worked together in I Love You. The rest of the cast includes Rudranil Ghosh, Kanchan Mullick, Ritwick Bhattacharya, Kharaj Mukherjee and Partho.” This big budget film, shooting of which begins in December, highlights the Bangaliana prevalent in North Kolkata with subtle political references. Ask him why he broke away from a long-term association and he says, “I was tired of the allegations levelled against me for making South remakes. Let me clarify that Le Chakka... is an original script.”
And what about rumours of him having rubbed Shree Venkatesh Films the wrong way? “Just because I am not working with them on this project doesn’t mean that I’ve had some problems with them. I am directing their production with Jeet, Koel and Dev. The project will go on the floors in February. The delay is only because of date issues of the cast.”
Meanwhile, Raj isn’t busy with direction alone. He is soon turning producer with a reality show titled Laugh Aaj Kal. Involving celebs, the show will have Chandrabindoo’s Anindya as the anchor. Now that’s what we call hitting a chakka!
