Dhritiman takes a small plunge

This will be the first for Dhritiman Chaterji.
The actor, who has wowed the audience with his big screen performances, will now be seen in director Partha Sen���������������������������s megaserial, Somoi.
Ask the actor why he ventured into television after such a long time and he says, ���������������������������I quite liked the script and hence, inked the deal.I also wanted to experience how different acting on the small screen is as compared to films.��������������������������� After being used to the arc lights, is he enjoying his television stint? He answers, ���������������������������I have just shot for a few days. It���������������������������s too early to comment. In films, one has a complete idea about the character whereas, in serials, an actor only has a general idea of the character that evolves over time.��������������������������� His character is the undisputed head of a royal family who tries to resolve the conflicts that arise in his family and business.
If buzz is to be believed, then Somoi is based on the epic, Mahabharata. In Somoi, Indrani Halder plays Draupadi, Dhritiman Chaterji is Bhisma, Abir Chatterjee essays Arjun and Parno Mittra is Subhadra. However, the head programming, Pritam Biswas, begs to differ saying, ���������������������������Somoi is not a mythological serial. It is better to say that Mahabharata is in the backdrop of Somoi.��������������������������� Even Partha Sen, director of the megaserial, stresses, ���������������������������Somoi is modern, contemporary and deals with human relationships, tensions in business, politics and so on. We might bring in a political angle later. Let me clarify that neither Indrani nor Dhritiman���������������������������s character resembles that of Draupadi or Bhisma. Rather I would like to put it in this way that, Bhisma choritrotar chhaya achhe Dhritimaner charactere.���������������������������
It is expected that the grandeur and opulence of the sets and magnificence of the costumes will be the megaserial���������������������������s USP.
