Actress Amrita Chattopadhyay, known for films like Anwar Ka Ajab Kissa (Hindi), Bhengchi (Bengali) and Janla Diye Bou Palalo (Bengali), is over the moon these days!

Her upcoming film Tanzil (Bengali) has been selected for screening at the 22nd Kolkata International Film Festival (KIFF).   

Tanzil will see Amrita enacting the role of a young mother.

The film has been directed and produced by Mahua Chakraborty. Orion Entertainment is also a vital part of this film.

Talking about her character in Tanzil, Amrita said to Tellychakkar.com, “In the film, my character name is Tanzil, which is also the name of the film. It’s the journey of this woman, who is also the mother of two: a daughter and a son. The son is a special child and a special child is playing the character.”

“So, it’s basically the journey of a young mother. The character I portrayed is around 35-36 years old, exactly 10 years older than my actual age,” she added.  

When asked to share her feelings on the selection, she expressed, “Tanzil being the only film from India in the international competition section, women directors, it really feels great. There were around 73-75 films competing from India, so it feels amazing that our film is the ‘chosen one’.”  

Great going, pretty lady!

The film also stars actors like Avrajit Chakraborty, Mousumi Bhattacharya and Jack Bhattacharya.  

Tanzil will be screened on 13 November, 7.30 pm at Rabindra Sadan. It is slated for theatrical release in the coming year.
