Kolkata, May 10 (PTI) A Rabindranath Tagore classic ''Char Adhyay'' (Four Chapters) may be adapted for celluloid by national award winning director Raja Sen, if things go smoothly. Right now, the film-maker is busy with the post-production dubbing work for ''Laboratory'', another Tagore work revolving round a scientist, a sikh woman and her daughter, in Mumbai. However, taking up ''Char Adhyay'' which has as the backdrop the terrorist phase of the freedom movement, depends on whether Sen will be allowed to proceed considering that the title has already been registered years back. "And I don''t know if the legal imbroglio can be solved and I am allowed to take up the film in future, Sen told PTI yesterday which was the 150th birth anniversary of the Bard of Bengal. Eminent director Kumar Shahani had earlier directed Char Adhyay starring Nandini Goshal (Ela) and Sumant Chattopadhyay (Atin), but interpreting it in a different way. "I don''t know if taking up Char Adhyay will be possible after all. My take will be different based on the story centering two lovers in the backdrop of the revolutionary phase in the 30s. The tale has intrigued me both as a reader and a film-maker for long," Sen said. Coming to Laboratory, Sen said the film is slated for release in this 150th year of Tagore''s birth. .
