Speaking about the film Indrani Haldar said: “This film is about a ‘shashuri-bouma’ relationship but not that typical ones we see in most of the TV serials. It’s a small budget film but I would request those who love good stories and acting performances to see the film in theatres. It was also a pleasure to work with Swati di. Even in this age she shot some sequences in the shivering cold of Changu. I simply admire her dedication.”
‘Borof’ is slated to release on February 22.
