“Audience will see different shades of me”

Chanchal Chowdhury took his first steps into the realm of acting in theatre, but has come all the way from TV to the big screen. The National Film Award-winner is all geared up for another big release today: Amitabh Reza's “Aynabaji”. In a recent conversation with The Daily Star, the actor talked about his new film and more. Excerpts:

Reasons why audiences should go to cinema halls to watch “Aynabaji”?

Chanchal: Firstly, it is a good story and Bangalee audiences always want a good plot. Secondly, the film is Amitabh Reza's creation and people have confidence in his work. It's a combination of a lot of good things, and people must go to watch the movie.

Tell us about your mysterious role in the film?

Chanchal: I've portrayed a few different characters in the film and the audience will see different shades of me.

What reactions have there been to the trailer and promos?

Chanchal: We're getting really good response. Those who watched the film's teaser have been very positive. The social media has played a big part in spreading the word.

It must have been very challenging to play different characters?

Chanchal: It was really challenging because you have to make a big effort to portray even one character, and here an individual has to portray multiple roles. But I tried to overcome such hurdles with support from the director.

How would you look back on the experience of making “Aynabaji”?

Chanchal: I got tremendous intellectual satisfaction from working in this film. We spent a long time filming, and the director helped me a lot to bring my role to life.
