His actor-son Arjun Chakroborty, having wooed audiences in contrasting genres of films like 'Chirodini Tumi Je Amar' and 'Bonkubabu', has lot more things to learn as an upcoming artiste, veteran actor Sabyasachi Chakroborty says.
"A breezy comedy, highlighting the new age Bengali films, the fresh pair of Arjun and Amrita (Chattopadhyay) is a pleasure to watch. But Arjun has lot more things to learn as a young actor," Sabyasachi said at the premier of 'Janla Diye Bou Palalo' here.
Arjun, drawing parallels with Jodi Love Dile Naa role of a young age couple related to another generation, explained no two roles can be similar.
"Here I am more of a comic character with toned up muscles, the kind of new age youth you saw in places girls feel secure with. I am part of the hilarious scenes involving the runaway bride.
"In Jodi Love Dile Naa Prane I essay more of a catalyst reuniting their parents of a previous generation. In Bonkubabu again I play the pampered para boy of a joint family. Contrasting shades and lots of things to learn," Arjun said.
"But I have certainly lots of things to work on my acting skills. May be my theatre background will help" he said.
Director Manoj Michigan, whose Raima-starrer 89 is going to Cairo film festival, said, "From Bye Bye Bangkok to Janla Diye Bou Palalo,' Aniket's films have set up a new realistic-mainstream comic genre in Bengali films.
Jodi Love Dile Naa Director Abhijit Guha, belonging to the same generation of film makers, said, "Janla Diye Bou Palalo iself has a rib-ticking flavor and the receptive but discerning Bengli audience is hooked to all kinds of clean entertainers, a far cry from the brawny masala flicks."
The romcom, released last Friday, was produced by Jalan International Films.
