When a tiger chooses to reveal itself, it feels like ishwar darshan: Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury
For the past several months, filmmaker Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury has almost disappeared into the wilderness. Between tracking calls and photographing wildlife across Pench, Kanha, and Tadoba, the Pink and Anuranan director has traded the chaos of movie sets for the quiet intensity of the forest.
What triggered this sudden retreat?
I went to Ranthambore back in 2011 and loved it. Ato bagh dekhlam, ato shundor jongol. But I got sucked back into work and forgot about it,” says the director. “Then last December, my friends took me to Kanha, Pench, and Tadoba. Something shifted inside me. You watch a film or read a book, and suddenly you're a different person. After those trips, I kept asking myself: Why am I not doing this more?
