Rituparna-Rajatabho team up after 14 years

Fourteen years after appearing together in Aparna Sen's "Paromitar Ekdin" Bengali film actress Rituparna Sengupta and 'Kaaminey' actor Rajatabho Dutta will team up again in a comedy.

The director of the comedy "Pati Parameswar", Jayasree Bhattacharya, said that it would have a feel of the 60s' blockbuster 'Subarnogolak' retold in a present day language.

She told PTI, "Rituparna played the role of a forever-dissatisfied wife of a police officer."

In 'Paromitar Ekdin', Rajatabho Dutta and Rituparna were husband and wife, but it was basically a relationship tale between mother Sanaka and her daughter-in-law Paromita, routinely abused by her husband.

"Unlike 'Paromitar Ek Din' here Rituparna's character demands a larger than life persona which can be the perfect foil to the authoritarian father etched by Rajatabha," she said.
 

"When I was narrating the script, Ritu laughed very much during the husband-wife sequence. I think being a woman she could better grasp the situations as envisaged by a woman director," Jayasree said to a question.

Rituparna said she was happy being paired together with Rajatabha again after "Paromitar Ekdin" happened in 2000.

"It is a film of different genre," she said.
