Bibriti to play a mermaid in her next

After the 2018 film ‘Byomkesh Gowtro’, Bibriti Chatterjee is all set to play the lead in Tathagata Mukherjee’s next ‘Bhotbhoti’ while Rishab Basu plays the male lead. “After audition I bagged this role and I am happy to play the lead. I play Ariel, a mermaid and Bhootbooti (Rishab) is in love with her. The film is a love story between fire and water. I watched Tathagata da’s Water bottle and liked it.What I loved about him is that he is very clear about what he wants from his cast. The way he narrates the story is amazing. I could literally see Ariel in front of my eyes. We all have grown up reading stories on mermaid and when you actually get a chance to play one it seems surreal,” said the model turned actor.
In Byomkesh Gowtro Bibriti had played Meera, one of the love interests of Satyakam (Arjun Chakraborty). “In Byomkesh Gowtro I played one of the characters. It was a film with ensemble cast. But in this film, the story revolves around my character and Bhotbhoti. I am really looking forward to this fairy tale of water and fire. While water signifies life, fire carries knowledge so both these two aspects get interpreted in this film,” added Bibriti.
The film is about what happens when Bhotbhoti a young boy comes across a mermaid in reality. The film has two sides- one is fantasy and the other side is the reality and how at the end of the film the two get merged is to be seen.
It’s a love story also starring Mamata Shankar, Rajatava Dutta, Debleena Dutt Mukherjee, Lama Halder and others. The story is penned by the director while music of the film is composed by Mayookh Bhaumik.
