Bengali filmmaker Raj Chakroborty is all set to make his debut in the Hindi OTT industry and his first project will be the remake of his own superhit Bengali film ‘Parineeta’. No, this is not the story of Parineeta by Saratchandra Chattopadhyay, which had a popular film adaptation with Saif Ali Khan, Vidya Balan and Sanjay Dutt. Raj Chakroborty’s ‘Parineeta’ is a story of revenge and love.
The 2019 movie starred Ritwick Chakroborty and Shubhashree Ganguly in leading roles. Ritwick played the role of Babai da, a cool young neighbour who gave tuitions to Mehul (played by Shubhashree). Eventually, Mehul falls in love with Babai da and thinks of confessing it to him. But soon Mehul’s world is shattered to pieces when she discovers that Babai da has committed suicide in his room. She suspects foul play and promises to find out what troubled his beloved Babai da and punish everyone involved.
It will be great to have such a powerful revenge thriller adapted to Hindi. The director has said that there will be two popular actrsses from the Hindi OTT industry but did not disclose any names. There will be a handful of actors from Kolkata as well.
Gairik Sarkar will be the DOP and Parmita Ghosh will edit the show. Parnita is known for handling the latest Dibakar Banerjee directorial ‘LSD 2’. There will be some changes in the original story. As it is being resold as a series, there has to be more detailing in the project, which Raj Chakroborty has ensured there will be.
