Rwitobroto as Goopy Gayen!

Rwitobroto Mukherjee, who has won praises galore for his role as a school-going youngster in Mainak Bhaumik’s Generation Aami, has signed up for an interesting television movie. Titled Goopy Gayen, it’s the story of a boy called Saptak Basu. “This has nothing to do with the story of Upendra Kishore Roychowdhury and has no similarity with Satyajit Ray or Sandip Ray’s fantasy musical.It’s an original story of Saptak aka Goopy, who sings. So, ‘Gayen’ is about the one who sings. The film is directed by Rajdeep Ghosh, who worked as an associate director with Kaushik Ganguly. Both the film and my part are very interesting,” said Rwitobroto, who has already begun shooting. He will continue shooting till February 3. Rwitobroto has been part of quite a few talked-about ventures in recent times. He played Prosenjit Chatterjee’s son in Kaushik Ganguly’s last Puja release, Kishore Kumar Junior and also pulled off the protagonist’s role in Pornomochi. Son of actor Shantilal Mukherjee, Rwitobroto is a regular on stage and keeps experimenting with different media. He even tried his hand at direction. His first short film, Bumper, was screened at Kolkata International Film Festival and starred his closest friends, Riddhi Sen, Dhee Majumder and Rajarshi Nag.
