Tolly thriller on mentally challenged person named after Tagore character

Kolkata, Dec 9 (IBNS) An under production Tollywood thriller is portraying the journey of a mentally challenged protagonist, played by commercial star Hiran Chatterjee, director Arindam Dey says, adding that his film will also carry a social message.

"Hiran will portray a mentally challenged person in the film as the main lead and his name is Meher Ali having resemblances of the deviant character in Tagore's Khudito Pasan in terms of characterisation," Arindam tells IBNS at the poster launch of the film here at a city club.
         
While Hiran enacts a Muslim boy, Payel Sarkar is a Hindu girl who always rushes to his aid. So the film also tackles the social issue of amity in its own way, Arindam, having earlier made Chhayamanush starring Prambrata Chatterjee and Paoli Dam, says. 
          
Payel, who had  earlier acted in audience-accepted thriller Ebar Shabor, says: "I am now enjoying my new stint with thriller flicks. My character is one type at the beginning which undergoes shades off change and turn out very differently towards the end and at the climax scene. But it's not grey."
         
Hiran says, "Challenging will be a routine word. But thanks to the director for giving me such a different role. It can be an actor's dream."
          
The film also casts Meghe Dhaka Tara  and Chander Pahar director Kamaleswar Mukherjee in a catalyst role and actor-workshop director Sohag Sen.
