Film-maker Arun Roy’s film
Hiralal on Hiralal Sen, considered by many to be India’s first film-maker, is all set to hit the screens this Friday. Before the release, the director gets candid about his attempt to remind the Bengali audience of a forgotten icon.
What do you want to convey through the biopic?
I want to convey that a Bengali made India’s first documentary, India’s first ad film, India’s first bioscope and his name is Hiralal Sen. How did we forget that as a Bengali?
When did you decide to make a biopic on Hiralal Sen and what got you interested?
