Naseeruddin shah, one of Bollywoods greatest performer would be soon assaying the role of India’s greatest pride and Noble Laureate Rabindranath Tagore. The movie would be directed by Pablo Cesar from Argentina based on a novel “Victoria Ocampo”. Pablo announced this in one of Goa’s film festivals where he was invited to take a Master class and said only Naseeruddin shah can do justice to the role of Tagore.

Both Pablo Cesar and the author of the book are great fans of Rabindranath Tagore. The author of the book even visited Shantiniketan and has written many books on Rabindranath Tagore and his teachings.

The filim is majorly based on the author’s book of essays -Tagore On The Banks Of The River Plata and another book, Tagore En Las Barrancas de San Isidro’ (Tagore On The Ravines Of San Isidro). The movie would be shot in Shantiniketan and Argentina. It is expected to have a lot of specialties. The movie would be set in 1924 when Tagore was 63.

The present day scenes would be shot in colour while the flash back in black and white. Also Pablo shoots his movies on 35mm unlike the 70mm that’s a norm. He says its more aesthetic in its appeal. The film would be titled “Thinking of Him” and would be released in 2016.
