Mystery Actor Stars in Anirban Bose's 'Aye Zindagi'
A mystery surrounds the main actor of Anirban Bose's film 'Aye Zindagi', premiering in December in Rochester. Despite the anticipation, the identity of the lead remains unknown. Meanwhile, the film's director, a transplant specialist at Strong Memorial Hospital, has opened up about his inspiration and the film's journey.
Bose first encountered the man who inspired the film at a Mohan Foundation fundraiser eight years ago. The story of a young Indian man in need of a liver transplant resonated with him, leading to the creation of 'Aye Zindagi'. The medical center supported Bose's part-time pursuit of the project, which was shot in India over 25 days.
The film, which premiered in the US in October, will have a free screening at RIT's MAGIC Spell Studios in December. Bose, a clinical associate professor at the medical center, took film classes and collaborated with RIT for special effects. 'Aye Zindagi' delves into the human aspects of transplantation, highlighting the stories and bonds formed during the process.
Despite the secrecy surrounding the main actor, 'Aye Zindagi' promises to offer a unique perspective on organ transplantation. With its free screening at RIT's MAGIC Spell Studios, the film aims to raise awareness and spark conversation about this critical issue. Bose's dedication to both medicine and filmmaking has resulted in a powerful cinematic exploration of a real-life story.
