Chandan Roy Sanyal readying short film for fests

Actor Chandan Roy Sanyal, notable for his dark layered performances in films like Kaminey, D-Day and Prague, has embarked on a new career as a filmmaker. He has completed a short film titled Hiroshima, amusing as it may sound, about a bottle of soya sauce! "My film Hiroshima is about a soya sauce bottle. It is set in the ruins of a restaurant named Hiroshima. The film opens in the aftermath of the (atomic bombing) tragedy, the area strewn with limbs and bodies," he said of the four-minute film. "Hiroshima contains an eerie soundtrack, and is dedicated to (filmmaker) Stanley Kubrick. I'm working on the film's post-production." He is getting his film ready for the Cannes and Berlin festivals.
