Once again I am back after a long break, I was away but as they say better late than never. Incidentally some of you maybe confused at receiving an update but not finding anything here on my blog, I noticed an increase in my statics on March 24th, a clear indication that several visitors came looking for a new post. I will clear the confusion, my laptop has a mind of its own, while I was working on this post the cursor jumped and hit 'Publish' and my incomplete post got published. I had to immediately delete the post, I apologize for all the confusion that I unwittingly caused.
Right from my childhood I have noticed that the roles which attract the attention of the audience are author backed roles. My father's role in
Anupama was so good that it overshadowed almost all his other films. Tarun Bose became synonymous with
Anupama and
Gumnaam.
My father was not the first choice of the film’s makers. The film was first offered to Ashok Kumar, he turned it down, why? I have no clue. Then they approached Abhi Bhattacharya, he turned it down because he did not like playing a father, finally they offered the role to my father.
