Producer Rana Sarkar has confirmed actor Priyanka Sarkar will be playing the role of theater actress Nati Binodini in an upcoming historical drama ‘Lawho Gouranger Naam Re’. As you already know, Rukmini Moitra is playing the role of Binodini in her biopic named ‘Binodini’. This film, however, will not be a biopic of the actress, but will prpbably be more of a documentation of the development of theater and music at that time and the influence of the Bhakti movement and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu on history.
Actor and politician Bratya Basu will be playing the role of eminent Bengali playwright Girish Chandra Ghose in the film. Girish was very close to Binodini and was a genius writer.
The screenplay and dialogues are written by Srijit Mukherjee but he will not direct the film. The name of the director is not revealed. Producer Rana Sarkar has said it is a surprise for fans.
The producer has also confirmed that Mir Jafar 2 has not yet commenced shooting. Actors like Srabanti Chatterjee, Saurav Das, and Priyanka Sarkar will be playing the lead of the political thriller. ‘Mir Jafar: Chapter 2’ is based on some real incidents that will talk about the tension around the Bangladesh and West Bengal border and Srabanti will be playing a Bangladeshi Refugee.
Soon there will be some good news regarding the release of the Koushik Ganguly directorial ‘Dhumketu’ too. The film stars Dev and was slated to release in 2018 but did not release due to some issues. Finally Rana Sarkar has assured fans that the film is undergoing the process of release and fans will get to see it on big screens soon.
