The film is based on a short play by late actor Utpal Dutt. Tell us about your association with Utpalda.
He was a wonderful human being and a wonderful actor. I gave commentary for his film Bhuvan Shome and acted with him in my first film Saat Hindustani. Later, when he became part of the Mumbai film industry, I had the good fortune of working with him in several other films.
Unfortunately, he is no more with us. But the legacy he has left behind in the form of his work and writing will always be with us.
The Last Lear is your first film in English.
This film was designed to be in English since Day One so it was natural that we were to speak our dialogues in English. When Rituda was asked about this, he informed us that the character is associated with Shakespeare and so he will converse in English only. It was a film designed to be in English.
Tell us about your Unforgettable tour.
It was a wonderful experience. We travelled to so many cities, and countries. The love and warmth, which we received from people there, was amazing. I could not believe that people love us so much. It was a successful tour. We are very happy with the response.
