Amitabh Bachchan To Unveil First Look Of Rituparno Ghosh’s Tribute Film On Article 377

On the 56th Birth Anniversary of the late National Award-winning Bengali filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh, Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan will unveil the poster of “Season’s Greetings: A Tribute To Rituparno Ghosh“, a film by Ram Kamal Mukherjee starring Celina Jaitly and Lillette Dubey.

The poster will be unveiled on Ghosh’s birth anniversary, August 31, by Big B on his social media platform.

“31st August marks the 56th birth anniversary of Rituparno Ghosh, one of Bengal’s most prolific filmmakers. I have had the great pleasure and honour working with him in ‘The Last Lear’. It is a film in the English language, which was slightly different from what Rituparno has been making. Abhishek worked with him in ‘Antar Mahal‘, Jaya in ‘Sunglass‘ and Aishwariya worked with him in two films ‘Chokher Bali‘ and ‘Raincoat‘. His thought process was so clear and so vivid in the way he not only made his films and chose the subjects that he wished to make. And then finally editing the film and bringing it to the audience with the kind of music was certainly a great joy to watch and be a part of. We lost him too early,” Big B said in a special video message.

The veteran actor added, about the Rituparno tribute film: “The film has become India’s first film to have official collaboration with the United Nations under the Free & Equal for LGBTQIA cause. And of course, now in India, the film deals with the abolishment of article 377 and that is a great step forward that has been taken.”
