Rahul
Bose
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
Netflix
film,
Bulbbul
that
follows
the
legend
of
a
chudail
through
a
child
bride.
The
film
also
marks
the
directorial
debut
of
lyricist-scriptwriter
Anvita
Dutt.
Bose
has
worked
with
11
first
time
directors
across
different
languages.
While
talking
about
Anvita
he
said
that
he
was
impressed
by
the
clarity
in
her
vision.
"I
just
loved
the
story,
every
single
element.
I
loved
the
fact
that
it
is
about
the
coming-of-age
of
a
woman
from
innocence
to
strength.
Aside
from
that,
the
etching
of
the
characters
was
done
with
a
great
deal
of
sensitivity
and
realism.
Also,
setting
the
story
in
the
late
19th
century
to
early
20th
century
Bengal
was
beautiful."

On
Bulbbul
Director
Anvita
Dutt
"Reading
Anvita's
script,
I
did
not
have
a
shadow
of
a
doubt
that
she
was
going
to
make
a
beautiful
film.
With
some
first
time
filmmakers,
you
have
that
doubt,
you
take
a
chance.
I
have
worked
with
11
first-time
directors
but
with
Anvita
I
never
had
a
doubt," Rahul
Bose
said.

On
Bulbbul's
Story
Talking
about
Bulbbul,
Rahul
said
that
the
story
has
been
told
with
"a
great
deal
of
sensitivity
and
realism",
though
it
interprets
folklore
to
narrate
the
coming-of-age
story
of
a
woman.
Rahul
believes,
folktales
that
portray
women
as
witches
in
several
cultures,
is
a
result
of
the
patriarchal
mindset
that
sees
powerful
woman
as
a
threat.
Rahul
Bose
On
Women
In
Folklore
"Every
time
a
woman
threatens
patriarchy,
she
is
supposed
to
be
a
witch.
Every
time
patriarchy
and
power
equations
are
threatened,
women
are
called
witch
to
make
them
seem
evil
so
that
other
women
don't
feel
offended
and
maybe
we
can
get
other
women
on
our
side
to
what
the
men
might
be
thinking.
It
is
a
very
common
and
easy
way
of
marginalising
women
who
threaten
patriarchy," the
52-
year-old
actor
told
PTI.
Bulbbul
is
produced
by
actor
Anushka
Sharma
and
her
brother
Karnesh
Ssharma's
Clean
Slate
Filmz,
and
also
stars
Tripti
Dimri,
Avinash
Tiwary,
Parambrata
Chatterjee
and
Paoli
Dam.
Bulbbul
starts
streaming
on
Netflix
from
June
24,
2020.
