When Dev and director Aniket Chatterjee promised create magic during the announcement of ‘Hobu Chandra Raja Gobu Chandra Mantri’, it doubled the excitement for the fans. And why not? Dev and Rukmini were to play the lead in this film aimed mainly for children. But then Dev decided to cast someone else as the male lead, a king, due to his conflicting schedule.
However, Rukmini was supposed to play the queen as announced before and seasoned actor Kharaj Mukherjee was roped in to essay the mantri’s role. But later, Rukmini also backed out from the project.
Now, Swaswata will be seen as the king and Kharaj will play the mantri’s role. The film will be shot in Hyderabad.
