One incident in particular has left an indelible impression on Sayantan Ghosal. He says, “We were shooting a night scene on a tiny island. The only link between the island and the mainland was a narrow strip of land. After an hour of shooting, I noticed that the light stands were standing in a couple of inches of water. I didn’t pay much attention. But after a while, I saw that my feet were also underwater. Soon we realised that the island was going underwater. The narrow strip of land was more than half submerged.”
What happened then? “Our Thai coordinator barely spoke English. We couldn’t understand what he was saying. Was he asking us to stay or leave? After a while all of us started running to the mainland. I saw Koel-di pick up a chair and run. Param-da was running with a tripod. We saved whatever we could from the set. We were literally running for our lives,” recounts Sayantan.
