বিশাল বড় বৈঠকখানার মাঝখানে একটা পুরনো দিনের সোফা আর চেয়ার। পাখার হাওয়া আর সারি দিয়ে রাখা পুরনো বইয়ের গন্ধে ভরে। বিশপ লেফ্রয় রোডের এই ঠিকানাতেই রয়েছে বাংলা চলচ্চিত্রের একটা যুগের গল্প। মিনিট খানেক অপেক্ষা করার পরেই এক মুখ হাসি নিয়ে ঘরে ঢুকলেন তিনি। সন্দীপ রায়। বিকেলের আলো কমে আসছে বাইরে। সত্যজিৎ রায়ের ঠিকানায় বসে শুরু হল সত্যজিতের গপ্পো। প্রশ্ন: লকডাউনে প্রায় ২ বছর হল সবাই ঘরে বন্দি। ফেলুদা কেমন আছে? সন্দীপ রায়: ফেলুদা খারাপ থাকবে কেন! অবশ্যই ভালো আছে। ভ্যাকসিনেশনও হয়ে গিয়েছে। আর ফেলুদাকে আবার পর্দায় আনার পরিকল্পনা চলছে। তবে যতক্ষণ না পরিস্থিতির উন্নতি হচ্ছে কিছুই বলা যাচ্ছে না। ফেলুদার তো একটা…

In my film, a character called Aparajito Ray, aka Apu, (played by Abir Chatterjee) makes a film called Pather Podaboli. It captures the hurdles he faces and whether he can finally achieve his dream.
