Fans of Bengali movies and shows, here is some good news for you. Filmmaker Arindam Sil is coming with a new web series soon. The show has been titled ‘Saheb Bibi Joker’ alluding to Bimal Mitra’s masterpiece novel that has been adapted into movies many times both in Hindi and Bengali.
It is not known whether the show will be an adaptation of the novel or will be inspired from Tigmanshu Dhulia’s ‘Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster’. It might as well be a very original story. Arindam Sil has always surprised audiences with new narratives and hopefully he will not disappoint us this time as well. He has directed films like ‘Mahananda’, ‘Abar Shawbor’, ‘Eagoler Chokh’, ‘Byomkesh Gotro’ and more.
The show will be starring Koushik Sen, Arjun Chakroborty, Arunima Ghosh in the leading roles. There will also be actors like Kaushik Kar, Pradip Roy, Chandan Sen, Rashid Roy in other important roles and it will be produced under the banner of Camellia Films.
It is a shame that ‘Saheb Bibi Joker’ will not be streaming on a well known platform as other Bengali shows. It will not be there on Hoichoi or Chorki but on Fridaay Social. It is sad for a show with such ambition to premiere on a relatively unfamiliar channel. The release date has not been revealed yet.
