Sudipto Sen On His ‘Controversial’ Filmograghy
Talking about the same, he said, “Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, I do not set out to make controversial films; I simply choose subjects that genuinely move and disturb me. I never planned to make The Kerala Story as a calculated project. In 2014, while I was in Kochi, an incident unfolded in front of me that deeply impacted me and became the seed of the story. Over time, that experience evolved into a full-fledged film, which was eventually completed and released in 2023.“
Also speaking about how the Charak idea came, he said, “The idea of Charak was born from my long-standing fascination with faith and the powerful rituals that exist in the hinterlands of our country. During my travels, I witnessed the intensity and emotional depth surrounding the traditional Charak festival, and it stayed with me. Over time, that lived experience evolved into a story exploring belief, devotion, and the fine line between faith and fear. That is how Charak slowly took shape and eventually became a film.“
The film, which stars Anjali Patil, Sahidur Rahaman, Subrat Dutta, Shashi Bhushan, Nalneesh Neel, Shankhadeep, and Shounak Shyamal, delves into real-life situations involving blind faith and occult practices in India’s hinterlands. The film is presented by PEN Studios.
Directed by Shieladitya Moulik, Charak is produced by Sipping Tea Cinemas, in association with Sudipto Sen Productions, with Rajesh Bhatt serving as the associate producer.
