Now before you get confuse lets tell you Priyadarshan isn't Bengali nor does he have any roots in the Bong land. It's just that he gets along famously with Bong beauty Rituparna Sengupta who will be seen in lead role
of his forthcoming Bam Bam Bhole.
Apparently this actor and director pair enjoyed working together. Acoording to a unit apart from work duo used to discuss their favorite films on the sets of Bam Bam Bhole.
Priyan is quite impressed by
Bengali art and literature and being from West Bengal, Rituparna used to avidly discuss Bengali literature and films with Priyan while shooting the film.
Interestingly one of the hot topics with them was Satyajit Ray's films and Rabindranath Tagore's novels, both being Priyan's favorites.
Incidentally, Priyan's Kanjivaram and Rituparna's Chaturango are both
being shown in the Goa Film Festival. Hmm, just in case we see a Bengali film or at least the subject coming from Priyan, we'll know who might be inspiration behind it.
