Tota Roy Chowdhury is the newest entrant in the Bengali detective club as he will soon be seen as the iconic sleuth
Feluda
is
Srijit Mukherji’s upcoming project and an elated Tota says playing Feluda was the only item on his bucket list.
So, how was he chosen as
Satyajit Ray’s immortal creation Feluda, we asked the seasoned actor.
“Srijit called me up and said he had four names in mind for Feluda. Of the four, he would choose one on several parameters, one of them being an audience poll. Some of the other parameters were his perception of the character and the dates of the actors. He also mentioned that the actor chosen would need to get into an extensive workshop for a month and a half. He wanted to know my schedule; I was also supposed to go for a look test. However, two days before the audition, he dropped the idea of a look test and confirmed me for the role,” revealed Tota who has made his mark in Bengali, Hindi, Kannada and Tamil cinema with his praiseworthy performances for years.
Srijit Mukherji’s project is titled as ‘
Feluda Pherot
’ based on the iconic Bong detective and there will be two popular stories, ‘Chhinomostar Obhishaap’ and ‘Joto Kando Kathmandute’.
