Kolkata: Renowned filmmaker Anjan Dutt is planning a movie on

story" and that he will play the lead in it.
Titled 'Darjeeling er Rasta' (Streets in Darjeeling), it will be a lyrical yet a very humane love story of recent times.
"It is basically my own story. I have spent my childhood in hills
and this film will revolve around my adulthood and my return to the
hills. The film will be based on event of last five-six years. The movie
will also focus on the Gorkhaland agitation in the hills," said Dutt.
Set in the background of the mystical hills, the story will revolve
around a filmmaker who spent his childhood in the hills and returns in
his adulthood.
The film will capture the turmoil in Darjeeling over the demand
for a separate state, Gorkhaland Territorial Administartion (GTA) accord
and the elections to GTA.
To be produced by the Pratigya Group, it will go on the floors in
February next year and Dutt, an acclaimed director and singer, will
portray the role of the filmmaker.
With films like 'Ranjona Ami Ar Asbona', 'Byomkesh Bakshi'
series, 'Madly Bangali'", 'Bow Barracks Forever', Dutt has joined the
league of leading filmmakers in the Bengali cinema.
