Jeet for 'Keu Bole Biplabi Keu Bole Dakat': Had three months to prepare for psychological evolution
Mumbai, Aug 6
Bengali superstar Jeet has opened up about the extensive preparation that went into portraying nine different characters in his upcoming film Keu Bole Biplabi Keu Bole Dakat, revealing that he spent three months understanding not just the physical transformations but also the psychological evolution of the character.
'Keu Bole Biplabi Keu Bole Dakat' is a biographical action drama film directed by Pathikrit Basu. The film is based on the life of Indian revolutionary Anant Singh.
The film, titled as Anant Singh's autobiography, stars Jeet as Anant Singh himself. Tota Roy Chowdhury plays another lead role. Kaushik Sen, Rajatav Dutt, Chandan Sen, Loknath Dey and Mimi Chakraborty also star in the film.
Jeet plays 9 different aspects of Anant Singh's life in the film. Talking about the psychological evolution of the character, Jeet told IANS: "I prepared myself for that. I got the script much beforehand. I got about three months to prepare for it. I was lucky that I got to play nine different characters in one film."
"We actors, or makers, live with one aspiration in life. For me, it is to present interesting characters to people. I can present interesting stories to people, movies to people. These are the two aspirations I have. Now that the film is releasing after two years, and in one film I'm getting to play nine characters..."
Set against the backdrop of 1960s Kolkata, "Keu Bole Biplobi Keu Bole Dakat" follows the mysterious Ananta Singh, an aging figure whose daring robberies of the powerful divide public opinion, hailed by some as a criminal and revered by others as a modern-day revolutionary.
As Inspector Durga Roy launches a relentless pursuit, the story unfolds across shifting timelines, tracing Ananta's journey from a fearless freedom fighter under Masterda Surya Sen during India's independence movement to a disillusioned man who wages a new battle against corruption and injustice.

Anant Singh's story needs to be told more widely. We often forget the revolutionaries who fought after independence against corruption. This film seems to capture that era well. Jeet doing 9 roles sounds ambitious - hope the execution matches the hype.
This is fascinating! As someone who loves world cinema, this concept reminds me of films like 'The Dark Knight' where villains are portrayed with moral ambiguity. The question of whether Anant Singh was a hero or a criminal is such a complex theme. Really appreciate that Jeet took 3 months to prepare - that's dedication.
Finally a Bengali film that's not just about family drama! The 1960s Kolkata backdrop and the revolutionary angle look promising. Jeet is evolving as an actor - from romantic hero to playing complex characters like this. Proud of our Tollywood industry! 🙌
The story of Ananta Singh is something every Indian should know. He was called a dacoit by the British but he was fighting for our rights. This film is important not just as entertainment but as history. Jeet playing 9 different avatars of the same person at different ages is brilliant casting. Hope the script does justice to our revolutionaries.
I have mixed feelings. While I appreciate the effort Jeet is putting in, I hope they don't glorify violence. We need to present historical figures honestly - both their contributions and their flaws. Let's see how the film balances the revolutionary vs criminal narrative.
