Anurag readied the stage for Freida
The director made every preparation for the debut show of director Michael Winterbottom's film Trishna at the film festival in Goa
Filmmakers Michael Winterbottom and Anurag Kashyap and actor Freida Pinto were busy making arrangements to premiere their film Trishna at the Goa film festival. Sources say that it was Anurag who made all the arrangements while Freida and Winterbottom were expected to make an appearance for it.
"Freida Pinto (as lead actor) and Anurag Kashyap's (as co-producer) were to attend the film's premiere at IFFI in Goa," says sources.
According to the statement, the film is the story of one woman whose life is destroyed by a combination of love and circumstances. The story is based on Thomas Hardy's classic novel Tess of the D'Urbervilles.
Set in contemporary Rajasthan, Trishna (played by Freida Pinto) meets a wealthy young British businessman Jay Singh (Riz Ahmed) who has come to India to work in his father's hotel business. After an accident destroys her father's Jeep, Trishna goes to work for Jay, and they fall in love. But despite their feelings for each other, they cannot escape the conflicting pressures of a rural society which is changing rapidly through industrialisation, urbanisation and, above all, education. Trishna's tragedy is that she is torn between the traditions of her family life and the dreams and ambitions that her education has given her.
The film premiered internationally at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on 9th September 2011and received rave reviews from critics and was appreciated by the audiences.
