Venice Film Festival helmed by Buddhadeb Dasgupta, will premiere at the Venice Film Festival
Three of his films were screened at the recently concluded Cannes Film Festival and yet another film starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui
is headed for the international festival circuit.
Nawaz's film Anwar Ka Ajeeb Kissa, directed by Buddhadeb Dasgupta, will be showcased at the Venice film festival, which will
kickstart from August 28 onwards. And these days, the actor is busy dubbing for the project in order to be able to submit the film to
the organising committee in Venice on time.
Nawaz's character, just like him hails from a small town and is a detective by profession.
A source close to the actor says, `The film is currently in the post-production stage and Nawaz has kept aside bulk dates and has
been dubbing nonstop for his portions. The makers, too, are leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the film is ready on time for
submission.`
Incidentally, the National Award-winning director's Uttara had won him Special Director Award at the celebrated film fest back in
2000.
After its premiere at Venice, the film -- which was shot mostly in Kolkata -- will be travelling across the globe only to get an India
release next year.
`Dasgupta's films, thanks to the human subjects they deal with, are known for striking the chord with global audiences irrespective
of where they come from,` sums up another source.
