Director Sanjoy Nag on adapting Annie Zaidi’s short story for his film Yours Truly, and the difference between loneliness and solitude
Waise maine suna hai yeh manual announcement jo ho rahen hain na, ye band hone waale hain, aur uske badle ek computer waali madam announcement karengi. Pata nahin kyun insaan ki awaazein, dheere dheere band hoti jaa rahi hain,” says the voice of an announcer at Kolkata’s Howrah station. And it’s this voice that keeps us, the viewers and Mithi Kumar (Soni Razdan), the protagonist of the film, Yours Truly, hooked throughout the latest offering by director Sanjoy Nag. Yours Truly is an adaptation of The One That was Announced, written by journalist and author Annie Zaidi. “I had read the story four-five years ago. The germ for this film originated then. I then moved things here and there and adapted it for this medium,” shares Nag, over the phone from Mumbai airport, just as he is about to board the flight for New York. He will be showcasing Yours Truly at the New York India Film Festival (NYIFF 19) this month.
