Bioscopewala adaptation of Kabuliwala- Rabindranath Tagore

Mumbai, May 16: 'Bioscopewala' which is an adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore's short story "Kabuliwala" has the same lyricist as of Kabuliwala, who is none other than Veteran lyricist Gulzar.

"Gulzar saab is very fond of Rabindranath Tagore's work. About 15 years ago he had mentioned it to me that Tagore is the only one who writes favourable and apt stories for kids and families.

"Interestingly, Gulzar saab had started his career as an assistant to Bimal Roy when he was making 'Kabuliwala' with actor Balraj Sahni and he had penned songs for it," Sunil Doshi, writer and producer of "Bioscopewala", said in a statement.

When he approached Gulzar with the script of "Bioscopewala", he immediately agreed to write songs for the film.
