Internet Desk: Following the success of sports related movies in recent times, a TV serial in Bengali on female athletes will be aired from November 03 on Aakash Aath. “Run Rony Run” will showcase the problems girl athletes face in the male-dominated world of sports.
This is the first of its kind serial on Bengali small screen. The serial will have shots of real-time training sessions at stadiums under the supervision by national coaches and international sportspersons.
“The role of Rony is played by young actress Sreyoshree Roy. She underwent real time training for two months running regular 200 metres at the Salt Lake Stadium under the supervision of Coach Kuntal Roy and his student Sushmita Singha Roy,” Director of the serial Arindam Basu told PTI.
“Kuntal Roy is in our advisory committee while for the training part in athletics we took the inputs from Sushmita, we had also extensively spoken to four-five other sportsmen from different disciplines about how they faced the situation regarding family and society,” he added.
According to Kuntal Roy, “The director of the film Arindam Basu came to me six months back at my camp in Sodepur. They wanted to know what they need to capture and details about the training facilities in Salt Lake Stadium.”
The show, deriving from real life incidents and experiences of sportspersons, also focuses on athletes getting caught in politics.
