A refreshing tale of Rabindranath Tagore’s Kabuliwala
Deb Medhekar, who is set to foray into direction with Bioscopewala, says veteran actor Danny Denzongpa was best suited to play the protagonist as he is capable of pulling off any role. “We have always seen him as a villain but he is one of the best looking men in the industry.” The film hits theatres on May 25.

In a statement, the filmmaker said:
“Remaking a classic warrants a change in perspective, relooking at the social mores, at interpersonal relationships as they stand today. For me, Kabuliwala was a classic story restricted to school textbooks. Through Bioscopewala, I wanted to embark with my audience on a journey to rediscover who he was – what his travails meant – what the essential, innocent core was, that time had managed to make distant.”
