Dulal Dey, who scripted Dev’s 'Golondaaj', is debuting as a director with 'Aranyer Prachin Probad’. Its unique storyline sets 'Aranyer Prachin Probad' apart from the usual detective thrillers. Dulal Dey, the writer and director, reveals, "There are many shades in my story. The hero of my story is different from others. He does not spy very intentionally. He is a medical student who is also very passionate about cricket. He started his journey as a detective when he unexpectedly got involved in a mystery. But yes, he also loves Bengali literature like others." This intriguing premise promises a fresh and engaging take on the detective genre.
Jeetu Kamal, who plays the central character in the film, expressed his enthusiasm for this role, saying, "I have been offered to play a detective character before this. I got the chance to play the role of Kiriti. But I think Feluda or Byomkesh is very commercial here. And of course, the actors acted great in their own way. But this detective character is different. He does not spy very intentionally. I felt that doing this character would be beneficial for me as an actor. So, I agreed." His dedication to portraying this character authentically hints at the depth and complexity of the role.
