Abhimanyu Mukherjee is looking forward to his next — Googly. About a couple with speech problems, the story takes a turn with the birth of their son, Googly. One of the high points of the movie is the presence of child actor

Soumyodipta

Saha, who is the cynosure of all unit members. About how he found his

Googly

, the director said, “I first heard of him from

Manali

(Manisha Dey). This was when I was holding auditions for the film. Soumyodipta had already done two-three serials and when I first came across him, I knew he was my Googly.” The cute child actor bonded really well with the film’s lead,

Soham

. “We were shooting the film just after Soham’s younger son was born. He would really miss the newborn when he came across Soumyodipta. The two of them really bonded well and I could see the father-son camaraderie unfold on the screen and off it too,” he recalled. About his own interactions with the child actor, Abhimanyu said, “The first time I met him, I was like, ‘Tumi ki amar sathe kaj korbe?’ To this, he said, ‘Haan, tumi jodi bhalo hao, nishchoi korbo’. I was totally stumped.”
