Yash plays the title role in 'Faltu'.
Going briefly into what 'Faltu' is about, he says, "Some people are thrown
out of erstwhile East Pakistan during Partition. They settle in a small,
seven-family village called Rani. Faltu, an 18-year-old boy, is the
darling of the village. But he realizes he has no identity of his own. The
film is about Faltu's emotional turmoil. In the process, he rediscovers
the other villagers. He even falls in love with a 16-year-old girl." The
story of 'Faltu' is adapted from the Bengali writer Syed Mustafa Siraj's
novel 'Ranir Ghater Brittanto'.
According to Bhattacharya, Shilpa Shetty and Irrfan Khan will also be a
part of 'Faltu'.
"They have heard the story and agreed to act in the film," he divulges,
adding, "By their induction and a few other factors, the budget has been
slightly raised." |
