Naseeruddin Shah will be
visiting Odisha on this June tenth -that is tomorrow. We all know Naseeruddin
Shah for his characteristic look and his deep passion for acting. He holds his
acting to such a class that nobody can surpass it. His movies -The girl in
yellow boots,dedh ishqiya and his soon to be released movie-Teen ;all portray
him in a different colour.
Shah's visit to Odisha is to
perform his well known play Einstein which he first performed in festival of
Prithvi theatre in November 5,2014. Naseeruddin Shah has been associated with
the Prithvi Theatre not just from its first festival in 1978, but even before
that when it was being constructed. This event tomorrow is organized by Zain
foundation.
Zain foundation is a
charitable trustee organization which is dedicated to meet every need of
autistic individuals. Located in Bhubaneswar this has also planned on helping terminally ill
children with financial assistance in the near future .
The play is written by
Gabriel Emmanuel and Mr Shah had long thought of doing the play but it was not
the right time as he said. But after nearly a decade he wanted to perform it in
the Prithvi theatre festival. He admits that remembering the monologue wasn't
quit difficult -always the master. But incorporating German accent was bit of a
chore he admits.

In this play he plays the
role of Einstein who talks about his contemporaries,shows his guilt over
Hiroshima and the atom bomb.with the synonymous look Naseeruddin Shah no doubt
pulls off the role accurately. In a promotional video of the event Shah
encourages people to come and see it. Even he urges them to bring children who
are above ten.
