Elated about the opportunity, Shoojit said, "I am absolutely elated and honoured to have Deep6 premiere globally at the Busan Film festival, along with other luminaries Indian and Asian cinema. I have known Madhuja for many years and it's been a privilege to work with her and my close personal friend Avik Mukhopadhyay on this unique film." He added, "Ronnie and I are always looking to present evolved and out of the box content, and it was a great experience teaming up with people who share the same vision for Deep6."
Director Madhuja described the film as a "battleground of love, death, despair and desire". The movie is an extraordinary tale of an ordinary woman named Mitul- played with great dynamism by Tillotama Shome - who strives to change things that appear fossilized. "Amongst the many Kolkata chronicles, this is my story -- told from a woman's point of view. At one level, it is a straightforward narrative about us - women - who shared a political dream and endured the intellectual big brothers; at another level, it progressively became an account about collective wants, dilemmas, oversights, vulnerabilities and the city neighbourhoods.
It was a great experience teaming up with Shoojit and Ronnie for this film, looking forward to the premiere!" Madhuja said. Shot extensively on locations across the city, the film has a dense soundscape and a remarkable visual graph, which generates a movement between memory and imaginings, every day and the uncanny. Veteran late actor Soumitra Chatterjee appears in an emblematic scene- making it one of his last and beguiling performances.
