Aditya Vikram Sengupta is in Venice with his third feature drama “Once Upon a Time in Calcutta” which runs in the main competition. Back in 2014, he was awarded Best Debut Director for “Labour of Love” (Asha Jaoar Majhe) here in Venice, at the festival he says discovered him and made him a braver filmmaker.
“Once Upon A Time…” is a film completely based on true events, and it tells a couple of interwoven stories that center around one woman and one young man, and their hardships.
