Jaya aptly lives Georgy in "The Green Window"

THERE are always greener pastures, if one looks through the open window, irrespective of one's age and current situation. And as Georgy (64), the widow, the chief protagonist in the film, finds a new dimension in life, coming across the Green Window in an old age home, Jaya Seal Ghosh, the award winning actress, also stages a comeback to the silver screen, portraying Georgy, true to the spirit of the film. The Tollywood diva had earlier won several awards with films like Uttara and Alifa.

The story of the film- "The Green Window", directed and written by Mumbai-based author-director, Indira Dhar Mukkherjee, revolves around Georgy Fernandez, 64, who lives in Kolkata with her son Simon, daughter in law Patricia and grandson Sean. Simon, the only earning member of the family, moves abroad with his wife and son. His mother Georgy is a senior citizen hence medical coverage and visa would take time. Georgy shifts to an old age home as she is not willing to stay alone in the house where she lived for 35 years with her family.

The character of Georgy is a combination of dignity and poise. Jaya Seal Ghosh is the perfect actor to portray Georgy on screen. We are shooting the film in the original location from where the story originated at St Catherine's Home Kolkata inside the premises of St Paul's Boarding and Day School. The film will surely inspire many senior citizens to look at the brighter side of life. Georgy's character is of a woman who is strong, practical and emotional," said Dhar Mukherjee.

I researched on the actual woman on whom this character is based and tried to pick up nuances. I am happy to work with Riingo and he is marvellous in the movie. I am indebted to the producer, Priti, for saying yes to the script. She gave me complete freedom as an associate producer," says Jaya.
