Abir-Sohini in Indraadip Das Gupta’s next

Indraadip Das Gupta, who is basking in the glory of his Special Jury Award (Feature Film) for Kedara, is all set to roll out his next film, Agantuk. The story chronicles the life of an elderly woman, who is found dead in her residence one morning. “It is a drama in cover of a thriller. How things unfold after the murder is what the film is all about.Is it a murder or an accident? That is what will form the crux of the film,” he said.
Giving us an insight into the storyline, he added, “The story delves into the problems senior citizens face, with their children staying away and neighbours hardly ever attending to them. I will try to be as honest as possible with the storytelling and I hope the audiences like it.”

While Sohini Sarkar plays the protagonist in the film, Abir Chatterjee has been roped in to play the male lead. Sohini will be essaying her character in three different stages of life — young, middle age and elderly. Revealing why he chose to cast Abir-Sohini in lead roles, he said, “Sohini is a fantastic actress. I knew she’d be able to essay the time leaps in the character. As for Abir, he too is really good. I wanted to work with him.”
The music has been composed by Indraadip while the screenplay and dialogue is by Padmanabha Dasgupta. Sirsha Ray has been roped in for the cinematography. The cast also includes Sujan Mukhopadhyay, Mousumi, Sidhu, Devlina Kumar, Daminee Benny Basu and Debapratim Dasgupta.
