‘Ghosh’ merges Theatre and Cinema: Eminent director Rituporno Ghosh has tried to merge the worlds of theatre & cinema in it.

Commenting upon the Shakespearean touch to the film, Director Rituporno Ghosh had told: “Shakespearean interpretations over the years have always been in a colonial context.

‘The Last Lear’ is the first attempt to take Shakespeare away from the colonial context and place it in an indigenous Indian context and actually transpose it to a film unit.”

The film was ready for release a year back, but producer Arindam Chaudhuri, Managing Director of ‘Planman Motion Pictures’ says he intentionally delayed its release in India.

‘The Last Lear’ is a niche film and so it was required to be shown internationally before being brought to India. It has already travelled to film festivals in Toronto, Rome and London,” said Chaudhuri.
