(…continued) “Have you heard of born again Catholic? You must be aware that they are more conservatives than many Catholics. In the same way, I’m a converted Assamese. I have spent more time in Assam than you two put together. And yes, I won’t say a single word against my people in any film” – that was the first reaction we got when I me and my wife Pallavi met legendary actor Victor Banerjee for my film in Goa even before he read my script. I knew him as the only actor in the world who worked with three of the all time great directors – Satyajit Ray, David Lean & Roman Polanski. But as time progressed, I got to know him more…. Sanjay Suri & …

(continued..) When I picked up Dr. Hazarika on 10th of February from his residence, it finally began to sink in – yes, that legendary voice is actually going to give life to my words! As we are driving towards the recording studio, the stereo of my car was playing one of his old songs. A gem no doubt – but not exactly the most popular one....

Paa is a rare film. Director R Balki, who spoke briefly about his film prior to the media screening offered the audience to walk out if they found the opening credits (read out by Jaya Bachchan in schoolgirl fashion) too long to sit through, but Jaya’s brief appearance, coupled with her child-like enthusiasm set the tone for a film that had...
