Kabuliwala Release Date
The talented filmmaker Suman Ghosh opens up about his upcoming film Kabuliwala, and also his experience of working with Mithun Chakraborty. If you love to read Bengali literature then you may know that Kabuliwala has been written by the great novelist Rabindranath Tagore. The maker Suman Ghosh has chosen this film by keeping actor Mithun Chakraborty in his mind as he told Mithun Chakraborty was on his mind when he wrote the script of the film Kabuliwala.
Mithun Chakraborty appears on the poster of Kabuliwala with little girl Anumegha Kahali. The actor remembering his first work with the talented actor in 2012, Suman said, “I did the film Nobel Chor with Mithun Da earlier in 2012. The story of Kabuliwala was told on the silver screen, in Bengal in the1950s. I felt it had to be retold now. My retelling had to be with Mithun da. He does very few films now, even in Bengal. I waited for him for five years. I was first working on Aadhar and then The Scavenger of Dreams.”
He also added, “Working with Mithun da is a separate high. Most people know that he was a superstar since Disco Dancer. And, he parallelly did films that got him three National Film Awards. He is such a solid actor. I wrote the script with him on my mind. We just finished the shoot and he has contributed so much to my basic thought (of the film). I often say I have a husband-wife relationship with him. The way we exchange our thoughts. It was a wonderful experience. The film is likely to be released at Christmas and I hope people like it.”
