'Me and Dev team up in 2 different genre films': Srabonty

Having staged 'jatra' shows at troubled hotspots Keshpur, Garbeta, 'Goynar Baksho' actor Srabonty says the names of these places were just to ring familiarity with the rural audiences in the upcoming Dev-starrer Bindaas.
"The people in these areas also do want to see their native places in films. I had done jatra shows in pockets dotting Keshpur and Garbeta blocks of West Midnapore and know how crazy are the people of these areas about entertainment," Srabonty told PTI.
"In Bindaas by Rajiv (Biswas) the places name come up to impart this realistic touch and connect with the rural audience," the 'Majnu' star said.

Srabonti, also working in Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury's 'Buno Haans', her second art house flick after 'Goynar Baksho', said shifting from many layered Sohag to more bubbly and straightforward Anjali was difficult but cathartic.
"Me and Dev are on-screen pairs in back to back films representing contrasting genres. In a way we are loyal and faithful to our core audiences while exploring the realistic films by venerable directors. He made his mark in 'Chander Pahar' and I worked with Rinadi (Aparna). So our journeys are same in a way," Srabonty said.
About Bindaas, Srabonty said, "Dev is a messiah for poor in the film who cleanses the mafia raj."

"Bindaas is not a romcom or a fun-filled musical. It is an entertainer with action and a gripping story line. Places like Garbeta or Keshpur are not included to wean away the electorate of Dev, a.K.A Ghatal MP Dipak Adhikary's constituency. But if that adds up to the curiosity factor, where is the harm? People will come to see and discover it is not a political film," director Rajiv said.
