From Engineering to Storytelling: A Continuum of Empowerment

“Some of these young talents came to us after exhausting their families’ savings on acting schools,” Ghosh recalls. “They worked hard, took risks, and gave everything emotionally. Many returned disillusioned from the TV industry – and here, we tried to build something that gave them dignity and momentum again.”

AnBan itself was shot without rigid storyboarding or rehearsals. Actors improvised freely, drawing from personal memories and raw emotions. In one pivotal scene, a first-time actress broke down, deviating from the script entirely – the moment was so powerful, Ghosh kept it in the final cut. “That’s when you realise storytelling doesn’t need polish – it needs truth,” he says.

The process mirrors the iterative, collaborative approach Ghosh once applied in engineering design. “In both worlds, we experiment, learn, and grow together,” he adds. “This is not about me; it’s about building a platform that empowers people through creation.”

As the film continues to attract organic viewership, Ghosh is opening his doors to anyone curious about the process. “We’re happy to share what we’ve built – whether you’re an aspiring actor, filmmaker, or just someone who believes in real, honest stories,” he says.

With AnBan Soulmates Mein, Tapan Ghosh has proven that storytelling can be a force not just for art – but for upliftment, learning, and authentic emotional connection.
