Tollywood is all set to get a fresh pair in
Rishav Basu and
Bibriti Chatterjee. The new pair will be seen in
Tathagata Mukherjee’s next directorial ‘
Bhotbhoti
’. Not only playing the lead in the film, recently Rishav recorded a rap at a city studio in presence of the composer Mayukh and director Tathagata. It’s the first time a rap song will be used in a Bengali film.
Rishav will play a young man Bhotbhoti who lives in a slum and collects coin thrown into the river Ganges for living. Votvoti believes there’s a mermaid living in the river, however nobody believes him. Bibriti who played an important role in Arindam Sil’s ‘Byomkesh Gowtro’ last year will be seen as the mermaid.
Rishav has a rich theatre background and forayed into films with a horror thriller ‘Kuasha Jakhon’ last year. Tathagata plans to start shooting for his new film from August 27. Produced by Pramod Films and PSS Entertainments ‘Bhotbhoti’ has been extensively shot in and around Bengal.
Tathagata’s last directorial, titled ‘Unicorn’, received critical acclaims. The story around the mythical unicorn and Bengal’s famous traditional ‘Nokshikatha’, tries to merge both to create an impassioned tale.
