Shoot of the next Shabor franchise stalled. Here’s why

The shooting of Arindam Sil’s Tirandhaj Shabar where Saswata Chatterjee plays Shabor Dasgupta, a police detective, has stalled midway. Explaining why the shooting stopped, Sil said, “We are all trying to get back to normal under these difficult circumstances. For a shoot to be conducted, a lot of things have to be taken into consideration. The shoot of Shabor has been postponed for a while by our producer.There was a co-producer who backed out at the last moment. Therefore, the other producer is now making arrangements for the shoot to start back up soon.”
At present, Arindam is busy with the pre-production of Mahananda. “Mahananda is not an easy film to direct. Every day, we are doing a lot of research to know more about the subject. Mahananda is the story of the torch bearers from different ages who carry forward the movement named Mahashweta. It is a story of showing direction to our lives in times of social and political unrest,” said Arindam.
How did the concept come to his mind, we asked him. “Every journey has a beginning. Mahananda is no different. And this journey began with few papers that Gargee (RoyChowdhury) handed over to me where a few pointers were written on Mahashweta Devi’s life and time. When I sat and thought about it, I realized that I must make a film on this. Mahashweta Devi is not just an author. Her contribution to our society is immense. One can say, our film is about a movement called Mahashweta Devi,” said Sil.
