Director-playwright Bratya Basu is gearing up to adapt two classic short stories by Bengali author Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay into a new film.
He's planning to give these tales a modern twist and blend them together—marking his second time working with Bandopadhyay's material after adapting "Othoi Jol" for the stage.
