The buzz around Bengali cinema is heating up as Nandita Roy, one half of the celebrated filmmaker duo Shiboprosad Mukherjee-Nandita, provides a sneak peek into their eagerly anticipated movie, ‘Bohurupi’. This upcoming film is breaking new ground as Bengal’s first action chase drama, promising a thrilling ride for audiences.

Starring a stellar cast including Abir Chatterjee, Ritabhari Chakraborty, Koushani Mukherjee, and Shiboprosad Mukherjee himself, ‘Bohurupi’ has already created waves with its pre-teaser, which was recently released online. However, this launch comes in the wake of a tragic incident—the murder-rape case at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata—leading the filmmakers to postpone the initial teaser release as a gesture of respect for the gravity of the situation.

Nandita Roy elaborated on this decision, stating, “We had originally planned to unveil the teaser on August 14, but given the heartbreaking events at RG Kar Hospital, we felt it was appropriate to delay our release. We’re now preparing for a digital launch during Pujo, which allows us to share our film in a respectful and timely manner. ‘Bohurupi’ is the result of a journey filled with passion and dedication, spanning 12 years of meticulous planning and 34 days of intense shooting across 84 varied locations.”
