From Kahaani's Bob Biswas to Pappu Bhai-not a long way off for Saswata

India Today  

After playing a serial killer in 'Kahaani', which earned him recognition all over the country, actor Saswata Chatterjee has now turned a film producer, albeit in a movie. From Bob Biswas in 'Kahaani' to Pappu Bhai in 'Damadol', the Bengali film where he plays a film producer -- how much difference does he see? "Pappu Bhai - please note gangsters are dubbed bhais in Hindi films - thinks he knows everything about his film and imposes his opinion on the crew," Saswata explained. Asked when people can expect him to act in another Hindi film, Saswata said they have to wait till next March, perhaps, adding that recognition after 'Kahaani' was just incidental. Saswata, who said he is putting much faith on his upcoming film on Ritwik Ghatak, said, "I grew up watching Ritwik Ghatak, Satyajit Ray and Mirnal Sen's works in my youth, which was a very turbulent phase in Bengal's history."
