Real-life incident inspires Arindam's debut

Arindam Dey���������s ���������Uro Chithi Express���������, starring Rahul and Paoli, is based on a real-life incident where the victim received a bus as an accident compensation.
If Bollywood can be inspired by real-life incidents, Tollywood surely wouldn���������t be far behind. Arindam Dey���������s debut feature film titled ���������Uro Chithi Express��������� is based on a real-life incident that happened down South.Says Arindam, ���������When Padmanabha Dasgupta and I began to discuss our story ideas, both of us referred to the same incident that had happened down South. We had read about how a bereaved man seeking compensation. When the driver lost the case and didn���������t have the money to pay a compensation, he was instructed to give away the bus. However, when this man actually wanted to give away this bus, things took a different turn. My film is a satirical take-off on this incident. The characters are fictional. It���������s set in Bolpur.��������� Incidentally, ���������Peepli Live��������� too had an incident where a pump was given off as a compensation in an equally bizarre situation.
As far as the casting goes, Arindam has cast Rahul, Paoli and Biswajit Chakraborty. Talks are on with Sabyasachi Chakrabarty to do the film too.
Speaking about his role, Rahul says, ���������I play a bus conductor. I am slowly moving towards doing such movies. I appreciate everything that Padmanabha Dasgupta writes. I am also planning to learn the body language of conductors and master the art of how the keep the tickets within their fingers.��������� Says Paoli, ���������I play a widow in the film. ���������UCE��������� will be on the lines of ���������Welcome to Sajjanpur���������. ���������UCE��������� is a dark comedy.���������
Arindam, on his part, adds that he thinks ���������UCE��������� is just the right platform to make his directorial debut. ���������I���������ve helmed projects such as ���������Jhora Shomoyer Upokatha���������, ���������Purba Paschim���������, ���������Borishaler Bor��������� and ���������Panchu Mistiri Lane���������, among others. I plan to begin shooting from January.���������
Shamik too has already begun composing for the film. ���������I have an earthy number. If I can, I���������d like to request Rahat Fateh Ali Khan sing it,��������� says Shamik.
Well, seems like this bus ride will not hit a speed breaker in Tollywood.
