October 11, 2010 : Director Srijit Mukherjee’s brainchild ‘Autograph’ is all set to premiere at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival, this month. The film will get released across the theaters on October 14th this year and it stars big names of the Bengali film industry like Prosenjit, Nandana Sen and Indraneil Sengupta.
The upcoming movie is about three people from the world of acting -a reigning superstar, a young director and a theater actress. One day, these three characters meet at a film set and their lives start changing. Autograph, as a film, tries to captivate the audience by giving them an inside view of a celebrity’s mind. The movie has been inspired from Satyajit Ray’s ‘Nayak’ and Ingrid Bergman’s ‘Wild Strawberries’.
Director Srijit Mukherjee informed us that the new movie deals with the concept of “a movie within a movie” and the narrative is split between two parts that blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy. The emotional triangle between the beautiful actress, the young director and the superstar is the primary premise of Autograph but it goes much beyond that.
Nandana Sen will be present at the Abu Dhabi Film festival to promote the film along with director Srijit Mukherjee. We are sure that this film will appeal to the sensibilities of the international as well as the homegrown audience.
