It’s a surprise that
Nihar Ranjan Gupta
’s most famous character, the dashing Bengali detective ‘
Kiriti Roy
’, made his debut on screens only in 2016. It was an adaptation of his book ‘Kalo Bhromor’ (The Black Wasp).
Kiriti’s character seems an inspiration from the Holmesian lines – he smokes a pipe, carries a magnifying glass always, prefers kimono and tatami slippers rather than standard pyjama kurta at home – but the plots for most of the stories are rather simple.
Director Anindya Bikash Datta’s ‘
Kiriti O Kalo Bromor
’ released in 2016 introducing
Indraneil Sengupta as Kiriti. The second film in the franchise ‘
Nilachale Kiriti
’ directed by Anindya once again hit the theatres last year.
Now, we hear the makers have opted for a new director to helm the third Kiriti film and it’s most likely Ayan Chakraborty. Tentatively titled ‘Kiriti O Chaar Nishan’, the detective thriller will go on the floors in May. Will Indraneil reprise his role as the famous sleuth? That’s still to be finalised but Camellia Productions who are bankrolling the project has announced an action hero will be roped in to play Kiriti.
