Inspiration

The film stars Mithun Chakraborty in a lead role and revolves around Chhau, a tribal dance form of Orissa and West Bengal. And the strange thing is that it is in Bengali, a language that Remo doesn't know much about. The story is inspired from his own life where a physically challenged kid's life started changing when Remo started teaching him dance and choreography.

Release

Lal Pahare'r Katha was released in 2007, but not in India. Remo said "I made my first Bengali film based on Chhau dance - a traditional Indian tribal art form and won lot of appreciation for it in countries like US, Germany etc, but in India, nobody released that film because no one wants to watch Indian classical forms."[2]
