Director Rituparno Ghosh has just been informed that his acting debut Just Another Love Story will be screened in the Panorama section of the Berlin Film Festival in February, where Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan will also premiere.

Rituparno wonders how the audience will react to his acting, especially when judged against an internationally-celebrated actor like Shah Rukh Khan. But Rituparno insists he's not nervous.

"I've been to Berlin on several occasions as a director. This is the first time I'm going as an actor. But it feels no different. I was always an integral part of the unit of Just Another Story.

Debut: Rituparno Ghosh


I'm not just an actor in the film, but the production designer as well," he said. As for Shah Rukh, Ritu laughs, "I see myself as Karan Johar's colleague, not Shah Rukh's."

Rituparno plays a gay filmmaker in Just Another Love Story. And he believes he will create a sensation with his cross-dressed avatar.


But for now, he is worried about something else. "The winter in Berlin will be severe. I'm worried about my bald head. I'll have to cover it stylishly," he said.
