  Later, he began to act in theatrical productions. In an interview, while talking about how he started acting in theatre plays, he said,

  Theatre happened at a very interesting point in my life. I had run away from home because I wanted to take up the arts (laughs). During that time, I met a theatre director who allowed me to stay with him. He was continuously working on plays, writing poetry, novels, and a lot of other things. And that intrigued me very early on in life – the kind of passion, way with words, the work that actors put into their craft. Soon, I worked on my first play with them. And then, everything else happened because I couldn’t stop. I kept finding theatre at every point in life and I kept exploring.”

• The trailer of the film ‘The Kerala Story,’ which alleged that about 32,000 girls had converted to Islam and were forced to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in Syria and Afghanistan, met criticism for its portrayal of the state as a centre for Islamic terrorism. B. R. Arvindakshan, a journalist from Tamil Nadu, filed a complaint demanding the film be banned unless the director Sudipto Sen could provide evidence supporting the claims. He contended that the movie could threaten peace, unity, and integrity, resulting in communal unrest. A case was registered under sections 153 A & B of the Indian Penal Code, relating to inciting disharmony and hostility among faith-based groups. Sen responded in a press conference, stating that the film would address all concerns upon its release, and he would further clarify any remaining questions afterwards. ^[5]Hindustan Times
