Actress Jaya Ahsan, who is equally popular in both Bangladesh and India, is going to star with Tollywood’s Parambrata Chattopadhyay and Abir Chatterjee in a new film based on the novel ‘Putul Nacher Itikatha’ written Manik Bandopadhyay. The film will be directed by West Bengal filmmaker Suman Mukhopadhyay.
Jaya will be playing the role of Kushum while Parambrata and Abir will be playing the roles of Shashi and Kumud respectively.
Jaya has shared the news on her verified Facebook page and wrote, “Next in the offing..”
Director Suman Mukhopadhyay said, “Two things were very important for this film. That is, skilled actors and big budget. Besides selecting good actors, the marketing aspect of the film has to be kept in mind now. Abir, Jaya, Param will be able to do that balance. The shooting schedule of this film is 25 days, which is not seen in Bengali films now.”
“In this film, I have tried to put emphasis on the chemistry of the characters and also the character Shashi. I think Shashi is a very powerful character,” he added.
The story of the film revolves around the main character doctor Shoshi who is very empathetic towards the lower class of people in the society . The film centres on the complexities of human relationship. The film will be set in the backdrop of 1930s and 1940s.
Suman said, “We have seen the intellectual failure in the last century. As a result, we now see the rise of this terrible religious frenzy and dictatorship. Intellectual people didn’t say anything against the injustice and religious frenzy. The character of Shoshi is the symbol of this intellectual failure to me.”
Two other important characters in the film will be played by Dhritiman Chatterjee and Ananya Chatterjee. Prabuddha Banerjee will be doing the background music.
