The trailer for the upcoming Bengali film 'Kabuliwala,' featuring veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty, has been unveiled. The film presents a narrative steeped in the rich tapestry of Rabindranath Tagore's past.
Mithun takes on the role of Rahmat in the film, set against the vibrant cityscape of Kolkata in 1965. The story unfolds as an Afghan man, Rahmat, expresses paternal love for a young girl named Mini, played by the talented child actor Anumegha Kahali.
The film delves into universal themes of love that transcend geographical borders and cultural differences. Abir Chatterjee and Sohini Sarkar portray Mini's parents, contributing compelling performances that enrich the narrative.
Mithun Chakraborty shared his thoughts, stating, "In stepping into Rahmat's shoes in 'Kabuliwala,' I find myself traversing the timeless corridors of Tagore's narrative. It's not just a role; it's a profound connection with a story that transcends eras, reminding us that love is a language understood by the heart, regardless of time or borders."
Director Suman Ghosh expressed, "Recreating 'Kabuliwala' is a creative journey filled with passion and nostalgia. It's an honor to delve into the nuances of Tagore's work once again, especially with the legendary Mithun Chakraborty. With 'Kabuliwala,' we aim to weave magic on screen, capturing the hearts of audiences just as Tagore did with his timeless tale."
Abir Chatterjee, who plays a pivotal role, remarked, "Being part of 'Kabuliwala' is a unique opportunity to bring Tagore's poignant story to a new generation. The film beautifully captures the essence of love that defies time and cultural barriers. This film is not just a recreation; it's a celebration of Tagore's enduring legacy, and I believe audiences will connect with its timeless emotions."
‘Kabuliwala’ is scheduled to be the Christmas release of 2023, produced by Jio Studios & SVF Entertainment.
