At the Kolkata International Film Festival filmmaker Anubhav Sinha jokingly called Bengal’s biggest star Prosenjit Chatterjee a “fresh new talent”. The joke has not gone down well with Prosenjit’s fans who feel the director is ignorant of the actor’s distinguished career.
Says Anubhav, “It was just a joke. But I see on Instagram that some people did not get the joke. I hope Dada (Prosenjeet) did.”
When I touched base with Prosenjeet he laughed, “I know it was a joke. And I loved it. Incidentally I do approach every film and character as though it’s my first.”
“He is the Anil Kapoor of Bengali cinema,” shared another user.
“He is not a fresh young talent, he has been in the industry for 30 years. He is a legend in Tollywood,” commented another user.
Replying to a comment describing Prosenjit as a legendary actor, Anubhav Sinha wrote sarcastically: “Thank you for the info.”
Anubhav Sinha delivered the prestigious Satyajit Ray Memorial Lecture at the 26th Kolkata International Film Festival on January 9.
Sharing his feelings after the event, the director shared a post on Instagram where he can be seen sitting in front of a picture of Ray. Sinha wrote: “This was the only way I could have been in the same frame with him. Thank you Kolkata International Film Festival. #KIFF.”
