Srijit Mukherjee to direct first Bengali 3D film
Srijit Mukherjee is all set to directed first Bengali 3D film called Paharchuray Atonko.
Acclaimed Bengali filmmaker Srijit Mukherjee will soon be making first Bengali 3D film. It is based on the exploits of a popular fictional character Kakababu by late writer Sunil Gangopadhyay.
The national award-winning director, now busy with the post-production work of the Vidya Balan-starrer Hindi film Begum Jaan, confirmed that Paharchuray Atonko (terror on hill top), his next Bengali film, will be made in 3D.
He said that the pre-production work of the film would start after the release of Zulfiqar (re-adaptation of Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra) during the puja.
He said that he had been thinking about making a 3D film for some time which would have a good content backed by technical polish for today’s tech-savvy young audience.
“I want to try my hand at different subjects as a director. In between shots we are also doing research on 3D technology’s latest trends,” he said.
The shooting is expected to begin in May-June next year and the location would include snow-clad mountains in Europe.
Prosenjit Chatterjee, who had essayed Kakababu in Mishawr Rawhoshyo (2013), will again don the hat of an adventurer in the film.
