Lyrics: Sayeed Quadri, Amitabh Varma, and Sandeep Shrivastava Then I met Priyanka and Rahul, and there was this organic physical and mental comfort level between them and I had finally got my cast.Starring: Shiny Ahuja, Shilpa Shetty, Kay Kay Menon, Sharman Joshi, Gautam Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma, Kangna Ranaut, Irfan Khan, Dharmendra, and Nafisa Ali The two characters needed a certain kind of ease with each other, a certain body language which I didn’t see in any actor here. I had written Ami vs Tumi four years back, even before Aamra. It’s about a couple, played by Rahul and Priyanka, and the day-to-day problems they face post-marriage. You’ve finished shooting Ami vs Tumi, which too is a relationship story. Despite being in a relationship, she doesn’t hesitate to sleep with other men. People have seen Parno as the sweet girl so far here she is bitchy and unscrupulous. I have seen him rise from a nobody to an actor to reckon with. Rudra’s character is more or less based on him. So, he fits the bill of a guy who wants to climb up the social ladder but ends up losing his job. I chose Abir because he is beautifully juggling acting and a corporate job in real life. How did you go about choosing the actors? He told me about his divorce and he talked about it so casually that I was shocked! I have seen some of my friends suffering from commitment phobia and how love goes out of the window after marriage and a baby. The other day a friend of mine came down from the US. Yes, all of them are based on my friends. Dag Media is producing Bedroom and we start shooting in June.Īre the characters based on people you know? Parno uses him, promising him a career in modelling. Besides, there’s Tanusree, who plays a prostitute looking for a break in Tollywood, and Anubrata Basu, who plays a toy boy. He dreams of directing Raktakarabi on stage some day but ends up doing nothing. Parno is a fashion photographer, while Rahul is a failure. Parno (Mittra) and Rahul play a live-in couple. They meet during an interview and start bonding. Rudra is an actor Ushasie is a journalist. Rudra (Rudranil Ghosh) and Ushasie are the second couple. He pretends to go to office everyday but whiles away time in coffee shops. Paoli is a bored and irritable housewife Abir has lost his job but hides it from his wife. One of them is Abir (Chatterjee) and Paoli (Dam). When I made Aamra (released in 2006), Calcutta perhaps wasn’t what it is now. But now after living in this city for a couple of years, I look at it differently.
Besides, while making Aamra I had a different perspective of Calcutta. I am dealing with characters in their late twenties and they are much more complex, unlike in Aamra where the characters were less complicated and more sorted out. There’s a lot of spite in everyone but they hide it. In Bedroom I am showing Calcutta as a noisy, polluted, ruthless city where everyone is leading a turbulent life but has a smile on their faces. They are not having sex and are failing miserably at it and that’s what makes the film, I guess, thematically bold.īedroom seems similar to Aamra in several ways.
And like in Aamra, the characters in Bedroom too talk a lot about sex. So it’s basically looking at the personal and private spaces of some people from the urban jungle we see in this movie. When I say bedroom, I refer to a person’s most private space. The masks come off and the fireworks start in the bedroom. I am calling it Bedroom because I feel you actually get to know a person in their bedroom. Whoever goes to watch Bedroom with that kind of a mentality will be disappointed! Unlike what the title suggests, there aren’t really any explicit, bold scenes in the film. It sounds like there’s going to be a lot of action in the bedroom in Bedroom. Mainak Bhaumik, who shot to fame with Aamra, tagged as “Tolly’s first sex comedy”, is taking a peek into the bedrooms of some urban couples in his next film, Bedroom.
