What if Hirak Rajar Deshe is reimagined with
popular Bollywood actors? Who would be Hirak Raja, Goopy Gyne and Bagha Byne?
What if Pankaj Tripathi is the Raja and Vicky Kaushal and Rajpal Yadav play
Goopy and Bagha?
If you are wondering if the Satyajit Ray classic is
being remade, unfortunately no. But, Sahid SK, an artificial intelligence
enthusiast digital creator has reimagined the characters with the help of AI
and Photoshop, and the results are interesting.
Other than Hirak Raja and Goopy-Bagha, the creator
has imagined Manoj Bajpayee as Udayan Pandit, Sunil Grover as Vidushak, Sanjay
Mishra and Raghubir Yadav as the ministers, Ashutosh Rana as the courts
astrologer, Anupam Kher as the scientist and Paresh Rawal as the court
poet.
If Hirak Rajar Deshe, a dystopian fantasy
film made in 1980 and starring Soumitra Chatterjee, Utpal Dutt, Rabi Ghosh and
Tapen Chatterjee, was made today and in Hindi or any other language other than
Bengali — how do you think would it be?
As you ponder, rewatch the Ray classic on Amazon
Prime because Hirak Rajar Deshe
never gets old.
