Magsaysay award winning writer Mahasweta Devi, many of whose stories have been made into memorable movies, will herself now appear in one being adapted for celluloid.
The movie Ullas consists of three stories, all written by the writer, one of which is Dour (run) in which the prominent tribal rights activist has acted.
The information was passed on by the 86-year-old writer herself in a press meet at the film hub Nandan, where some clips of the movie based on tribal exploitation, were shown.
“I haven’t shared a frame with any important member of the cast. But this is the first time I am facing the camera,” Mahasweta said in her characteristic style of understatement.
