���I felt the need to present Tagore to the new generation in a way they could identify with. Hence, I���ve kept the story and characters in sync with the times,��� she says. The love story revolves around three characters ��� Sikha (Sohini Mukherjee Roy), Labanya (Shahana Chatterjee) and Amit (Uditvanu Das) ��� all strangers on a vacation at the same destination. When Sikha sees love brewing between Labanya and Amit, she acts as the bridge that brings them together. The film was shot in Goa in a span of two weeks. Shomshuklla says, ���Shahana, Uditvanu and Sikha worked so hard that their first take itself would be perfect. It was a great unit ��� right from my technical team to the actors.��� Chhuttii Aar Picnic, produced by Cut To Cut Productions, releases today.
