Music launch of The Japanese Wife
|
The Rahul Bose starrer, The Japanese Wife had its music launch on
Wednesday. Director of the film, Aparna Sen and actors Rahul Bose and
Moushumi Chatterjee were present at the launch.
The film is a book adaptation of Kunal Basu’s novel with the same
name. The film has 16 songs. It stars Japanese actress Chigusa Takaku as
the Japanese wife.
According to Aparna Sen, she found the story like a modern-day fairy
tale. She reveals that when she heard the story from Kunal Basu, she
found it very strangely odd and yet charming at the same time.
Rahul Bose, who has earlier worked with Aparna Sen on 15 Park Avenue
and Mr. and Mrs. Iyer, states that his character in the film is that of a
romantic. His character, Snehmoy, is very stubborn schoolteacher and
has been writing letters to his lover for 17 years. They start out as
pen pals and then go on to become lovers. They even get married through
letters and live together as husband and wife like this. They have never
met though. It is set in the interiors of Sunderbans, West Bengal.
The film will be releasing on April 9.
