Days after teaming up in the Cannes film-mart screened 'Aleek Sukh' about medical ethics, actors Sohini Sengupta and Debshankar Halder are all set to feature in a recital album soon.
Speaking on the sidelines of the 'Kobita' album launch rendered by her illustrious father and playwright Rupdraprasad Sengupta today, the 'Khuku' in Aparna Sen's 'Paromitar Ekdin' said, "While Debshankar da has lent his voice in this album, the sequel will feature us both."
"I can't imagine to do an album of poems with father. Rudraprasad Sengupta who is a doyen of Indian theatres and I will be in awe of him during recordings. But me and Debshankar da had worked together on stage and in films," Sohini, whose intense portrayal of an obsessive mom in Ichhe turned it a blockbuster said.
The cerebral actor, who calls theatre personality mother Swatilekha Sengupta as 'Ratnagarbha', said she had inherited the knack for poetry from her mother.
The unique Kobita album, which first time witnessed collaboration between two leading lights of Bengali stage Rudraprasad and Debshankar, the jailor in Muktodhara, was a glorious example of guru-shishya keeping pace with each other in an elocution jugalbandi, Debshankar confirmed adding he was all too eager to cut the next one with Sohini, a powerful actor of her times.
Poet Rajat Subhra Majumder, elated with the verses brought to life by two theatre legends of all times, said his predicaments in teaching profession and the everyday compromises in the present day society poured out in the album
