Shantilal Mukherjee has a chock-a-block schedule for the coming few months. The actor is playing a saint in Soukarya Ghosal’s Bhoot Pari and has just completed shooting for Mainak Bhaumik’s Goyenda Junior. “I am also part of Arghadeep Chatterjee’s thriller, which also stars Rajatava Dutta. Moreover, Priyobroto Chatterjee, who pens lyrics and writes stories, will be directing a film along with Dipak Banerjee on life at a rehabilitation center.I’m part of that film too,” said the actor, adding that he loved Soukarya’s story and script. “It reminded me of the ghost stories by Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay, in which the ghosts are just like us,” he said.

He discovers that they both see a common dream. So when this woman, who died in 1947, meets a boy in 2019, she discovers how she had died. She was murdered. How the little boy helps her find her murderer is what the rest of the story is about. While Jaya Ahsan plays the ghost, Bishantak Mukherjee plays her young companion.
