After “Sunrise” in 2014 and a double whammy with “The Wayfarers” and “Nirvana Inn” in 2019, Indian thespian Adil Hussain is back at the Busan International Film …
this year with two more films – “The Storyteller” in the Jiseok section, and “Max, Min and Meowzaki” in the Open Cinema strand.
In “The Storyteller” Hussain plays Goradia, a Gujarati businessman who believes that once physical wealth is accumulated, happiness will follow, but this proves not to be the case. The film is based on a story by the late, great Bengali filmmaker Satyajit Ray. “He [Ray] of course pitted Gujarat and Bengal against each other.
“To help me out, the director, who himself is from that part of India, recorded all my lines in the accent that he expected me to speak in. So I had been diligently hearing the recording and preparing for the role,” says Hussain. “And when I did my first scene, he would stop me and say, ‘elongate that a little bit,’ or ‘shorten this a little bit.’ To get the tonality – in acting jargon we call it the timbre quality – that I had to get it right.
