Actors Prosenjit Chatterjee and Raima Sen talk about their forthcoming erotic thriller Khawto.
Actors Prosenjit Chatterjee and Raima Sen
Q.Khawto’s being marketed as an erotic thriller. That seems quite a change for both of you.
Raima I have never done such a film before and moreover such bold topics aren’t even common in Bengali films. I play Prosenjit's wife in the film. He’s a writer and she’s intellectually an equal. She has a voice of her own and is quite independent even though she’s also a mother. I think even he (points to Prosenjit) hasn’t done such a role before.
Prosenjit Yes the erotic thriller tag isn’t common in Bengali cinema or even Indian cinema. There were always lots of novels and books with erotic content or showing adultery.
Q. Is it easier to do this in Bengali because there is this image of Bengalis being liberal and more permissive?
Prosenjit I think today’s audience has changed. They watch and have access to world cinema at the click of a button. So it’s high time that we were able to make films with erotic content. It’s always been there in Bengali literature.
Q. Any particular work that comes to mind?
Prosenjit A lot of Buddhadeb
