Subhrajit Mitra plans to adapt two more literary classics

After his last directorial ‘Chorabali’ in 2016, Subhrajit Mitra is all set for his next ‘Avijatrik’ based on the concluding part of Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay’s epic novel ‘Aparajito’. This will continue the legacy of the classic Apu Trilogy by Satyajit Ray. Subhrajit’s movie follows the wanderlust of Apu rather than the inner journey of Apu and will explore the relationship between Apu and his son.
Being a huge admirer of period films, the talented filmmaker is planning to adapt two more classic Bengali literary works. “It can be Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay’s Aranyak or Rabindranath Tagore’s last novel Dui Bon. For Aranyak I have thought of Ritwik Chakraborty in the role of the author and for Dui Bon it can be Raima Sen and Darshana Banik with Victor Banerjee in the role of Tagore himself,” revealed Subhrajit.
Meanwhile, shot in black and white, ‘Abhijatrik’ will be filmed in and around Benaras, Gorubathan, Taki, Bolpur and Kolkata. The period film stars Arjun Chakrabarty in the lead besides Arpita Chatterjee, Sabyasachi Chakraborty, Ditipriya, Sohag Sen, Barun Chanda, Tanushree Shankar and Sreelekha Mitra.
