Actor Subrat Dutta, renowned for his role in 'Talaash,' is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film, 'Bastar: The Naxal Story,' scheduled to hit theaters worldwide on March 15, 2024. Directed by Sudipto Sen, the movie features a star-studded cast, including Adah Sharma, Indira Tiwari, Vijay Krishna, Raima Sen, Shilpa Shukla, Yashpal Sharma, and Kishor Kadam.
Dutta, acclaimed for his performances in Hindi films like 'Talaash,' 'Tango Charlie,' 'Zameen,' 'The Shaukeens,' 'Raktacharitra,' 'Bhootnath Returns,' 'Sameer,' and 'Guthlee Ladoo,' candidly discusses his character in 'Bastar' and shares insights into his experience working on the project.
Talking about his role in the movie, he mentioned, “The role I'm playing here is Milind Kashyap, an ordinary man who has full faith in the constitution."
"I didn't have to prepare much for this role since it's not very extensive. I've previously collaborated with the director, Sudipto Sen, on three films, so there's already good communication between us. I believe in the script and my director, which covers 80% of the work. Additionally, this character isn't too far from my own personality, making it easier to portray. However, every character presents its own challenges, and there was a particular scene that required extensive technical preparation due to the makeup involved," he added.
Dutta also went on to speak about his experience working with Vipul Amritlal Shah. He said, "Vipul sir was really fascinating. His working style, patience, and passion were inspiring, and he maintained a calm demeanor despite the large-scale production. Working alongside my on-screen wife, Indira Tiwari, and portraying the role of her husband was enjoyable, and I learned a lot from the action sequences."
Adding further insights about the film, Dutta mentioned, "The trailer has been released, providing a glimpse into the film. My character can be seen saluting the Indian flag in the trailer, which sets the tone for the action-packed narrative. The film is backed by extensive research, evident from the video documentation I witnessed during the production process."
