Rudranil replaces Ritwick in Balighawr

Arindam Sil’s latest film, Balighawr, which initially featured Ritwick Chakraborty in a pivotal role, will now see Rudranil Ghosh replacing him. The director, who is in Dhaka, revealed, “I feel Rudra is a brilliant actor and not just a comedian. He is one of the most under-rated actors we have in the industry. In this film, you will get to see him playing a professor of

Dhaka University

.”

Rudranil, who will be working with Sil after

Byomkesh Pawrbo

, said, “Arindamda had told me about the film long back. I am not bothered about the fact that someone else was supposed to play the role earlier. As an actor, I liked my character and the storyline. So I signed on the dotted line. I am happy to be part of this project now!” Considering Ritwick backed out from two of his films — Byomkesh and now, Balighawr, would Sil still be interested in casting him? “Why not? If the role demands...,” pat came his reply!
