Believe it or not,
Uttam Kumar is all set to make his presence felt in a large portion of
Srijit Mukherji’s next, ‘Oti Uttam’. He will be seen as one of the lead characters along with
Anindya Sengupta and
Gourab Chatterjee. In a
VFX
marvel, the director aims at recreating Uttam Kumar’s character, dialogue and presence as real as possible. Now, the film has locked its release date, but cine buffs will have to wait a bit more since it will hit the big screens on December 20 ahead of Christmas.
Giving a peek into the film and Uttam Kumar’s presence in the film,
Srijit had earlier said, “I went through 54 films by the legend to recreate the character. I had to back calculate everything while penning the script and screenplay. I think it is happening for the first time in cinema.”
Oti Uttam is a romantic comedy. It talks about a Ph.D. scholar, played by Anindya Sengupta, who is pursuing his research on Uttam Kumar. He likes a girl but gets rejected. He decides to bring Uttam Kumar’s spirit with the help of
Gourab Chatterjee, the legend’s grandson in this film, and in real life. “Uttam’s spirit comes and helps the scholar get his girl,”
Srijit
had explained in an earlier interview.
While Roshni Bhattacharya will debut on the big screen with this film,
Laboni Sarkar and Shubhashish Mukherjee will also be seen in pivotal characters. The music of the film has been composed by another debutant Saptak Sanai Das, a young musician.
Meanwhile, Srijit is currently busy filming his upcoming
Feluda
series with Tota Roy Choudhury.
