Mumbai:
Director Sujoy Ghosh said his latest short film
Ahalya is not inspired by author Roald Dahl's story.
Set in a contemporary time in Kolkata, the 14-minute long
Ahalya is a thriller, which is inspired by the Hindu epic
Ramayana. It portrays the fates of an
apsara, a
maharishi and rain god
Indra through the characters played by Radhika Apte, Soumitra Chatterjee and Tota Roy Chowdhury.
This is what the
Kahaani director tweeted on July 24:
Ahalya, which was released on Youtube on July 22 by LargeShortFilms has garnered a lot of views and appreciation in a short span of time.
