First thriller on English play in Kolkata

In a first for Tollywood, the first ever Bengali thriller on English play in city, will also be launched in storybook form with graphics and script.
On the lines of Hollywood, where such practice is in rage, 'The Play', based on the turns and twists in the journey of a city-based English theatre group, will be etched out in comic book format, director Ranojay (RC) Chatterjee told PTI.
"The objective is to ensure comeback of commercial art using crokel nib, black chinese ink, linocut, lithography," the young, debutant director said.
"The storyboard in the format of a graphic novel has been the brainchild of our creative team. We want to give the film a flavour different from other Tolly flicks," Ranojoy said.

Based on a murder mystery involving a famous theatre group headed by a reel-life thespian Ambikesh Sanyal (Rajesh Sharma), 'The Play' draws on the rich English theatre tradition of Kolkata but weaves a thriller web.
"Yes the thoughts of a legendary playwright, who blazed the trail of English theatre practice in the city, crossed my mind when I etched out his role, but the movie is entirely fictional and the thriller part is filmy," the No One Killed Jessica actor said earlier.
