George Baker of Chameli Memsaab fame hugs his director Abdul Majid in Nagaon on Wednesday. Baker had acted in Majid’s 1975 film about a British planter who falls in love with and marries a tea garden worker, only to be accused of her murder. The film was a huge success, turning Baker into a matinee idol. The handsome actor acted in two more Assamese films, Devi and Priyojon. Now based in Calcutta, this Anglo-Indian actor is in Guwahati to inaugurate the State Film Awards Festival on Friday. Baker agreed to the department of cultural affairs’s request on one condition — that he be given the opportunity to watch some of the finest Assamese films ever made. The festival will host a bouquet of 29 Assamese films — from award-winning ones to box-office hits — at Anuradha and Apsara halls from Friday. Picture by Eastern Projections
