Bachchan’s return to Bangla films

After taking Bollywood by storm with his second innings in acting, mega super star Amitabh Bachchan is making a comeback in Bangla movies with his Hindi-Bangla bilingual ‘Ora Kara’ scheduled for an early September release.

The film directed by Ravishankar Sharma would be Bachchan’s second Bengali film in 15 years after Shakti Samant's ‘Anusandhan’ released in the 80s.



"The suspense thriller has Amitji playing an armyman opposite Dimple Kapadia and would be released in both languages simultaneously. Since the Big B began his career in Kolkata and has a big fan following in Bengal, we thought of a bilingual," Sharma says.

Though Bachchan played a cop in Samant's action-packed movie and was seen bashing up baddie Amjad Khan, in ‘Ora Kara’ he would take upon an unknown enemy, because of whom strange things keep happening in his otherwise serene home.

The action takes place in an isolated brick mansion amidst thick woods and mist, where Kapadia playing Sandra Williams lives with her two children Sarah and David as the husband played by Bachchan is at war.

Making up for the spooky angle are three servants -- a nanny played by Moushumi Chatterjee, a gardener and an aide -- as quaint, unexplained things disrupt the calm lives of the inmates of the mansion.

"This movie is inspired by a Hollywood thriller. The idea fancied me and I could not resist making a film with this star cast agreeing instantly," Sharma, whose maiden film Mulakat had bombed at the box office in 2000, said.
