Geetanjali Thapa
National Award winner Geetanjali Thapa (Liar's Dice) was cast in debutant director Deb Medhekar's Bioscopewala as she reminds him of the late actor Meena Kumari. The filmmaker is a fan of the Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962) actor and wanted someone who could fit into that mould.
Bioscopewala extends the story from where Nobel Prize winner Rabindranath Tagore's Kabuliwala -- a widely known short story penned in 1892 -- ends.
