Dutt's the sound of Ringtone

Suman Ghosh's Ringtone is sounding more melodious than ever. After pulling off a coup of sorts by bringing together Tollywood's first couple ' Prosenjit and Arpita Chatterjee ' he has added to his cast another big name. Buzz is that the film will star Anjan Dutt in an important role.
Suman, it's heard, had etched the character keeping Dutt in mind. A black comedy-meets-science fiction, the film deals with the impact of technology on human psychology and how it's affecting present-day relationships.Dutt will get under the skin of a senior research scientist dealing with such problems, while Prosenjit and Arpita will play newly-weds. In the film, Prosenjit will be seen essaying the role of a cellphone company employee fighting the challenges that technology has thrown at him and his marriage. WhenTOI got in touch with Dutt, he refused to divulge the details. 'Yes, Suman did approach me for his film, but I'm yet to go through the script as I am busy with Galileo, one of Brecht's most complex works, which will be staged soon,' he says.
Interestingly, Dutt, who is back to stage after 20 long years as Italian physicist Galileo in his production, will be seen playing a scientist in Ringtone. Point out the similarities and he says, 'Right now, I don't feel like directing films, so I am back to serious theatre that I once did. Back then, I felt it was not financially viable and to eke out a living, I started directing films. I even learnt the nuances of theatre in Germany. I feel it is just the right age for me to play Galileo. Apart from live bands, there will be a lot of Brechtian music in the production. The set design will be elemental yet contemporary.' After a gap, Dutt will start directing Ganesh Talkies from December.
