The Pankaj Tripathi starrer short film, Laali, is all set to premiere at the prestigious New York Indian Film Festival from June 4. The film is the brainchild of independent filmmaker, Abhiroop Basu. Laali follows the life of a laundry-man in Kolkata's suburbs as he finds some strange comfort in an unclaimed red dress. Ekalavi Khanna also makes a short appearance in the short film which has been shot in a single location.
“He is like Virender Sehwag. His strength and beauty are in his unpredictability. He'll try attempting a six when he is batting on 299. We never rehearsed but only shared our past life experiences and from there we formed some sort of a connection that we tried to bring to the film. Cinema I believe is all about finding ways to show our hidden sides, our vulnerabilities. I think Pankaj Tripathi is a master at that. His ability to hide himself behind a character in seconds is simply mind boggling," Basu had told a leading daily regarding his experience working with Tripathi. The filmmaker's last project was also a short film called Meal which featured actors like Adil Hussain, Ratnabali Bhattacharjee and Arun Mukhopadhyay.
