Dear Nishikanto Ghosh,


How are you doing? Hope you are doing great. It was a great experience for me working while in that movie. I met with my past memories related to theatre. I wanted to thank you for recommending me for that role.


When you came with a proposal of doing an act for a movie I was really surprised that after many years of leaving this profession I will again get an acting proposal in this age. You know well how passionate I am for acting and this was only the reason I haven’t refused. I came across many new things about films productions like cameras, light, actors, and shoots. I was amazed while working.


I am very thankful to you for offering me such a beautiful role and I must thank your brother-in-law too who supported me well on the set.


Yours truly,


Patol Babu
