‘The Hero’ and I
‘Filmmaking in Calcutta has always been a sort of technical battle, mainly as I said due to lack of funds. I am sure this added to the overall stress of filmmaking and I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the cause of Ray’s poor heart condition. I remember him sitting next to the camera during our lunch break, chewing on his handkerchief. He ruined one hankie daily much to Monku Di, his wife’s chagrin.’ The story of a film.
