Actress Ritabhari Chakraborty is all set to star in the upcoming Bengali film ‘Bohurupi’ alongside Abir Chatterjee, as announced by director duo Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee. The film promises to bring a real story to life set between 1998 and 2005.

The film, which will commence filming on March 12, will have a 40-day shoot across 78 locations, with Shiboprosad revealing, “Curiously, we are shooting at places starting with the letter ‘B’, such as Baranagar, Bantala, Barrackpore, Bolpur, Beldanga, and Bethuadahari.” The film is said to be made on a grand scale.

Shiboprosad mentioned, “Through the script, we have tried to chronicle that era,” referring to the timeline between 1998 and 2005. He also expressed, “The real characters, who have given their versions, are there and we plan to release a documentary along with the film featuring the real characters.”

Abir Chatterjee expressed his excitement about the film, stating, “After ‘Aamar Boss’, I’m thrilled to bring a completely different character to life in Bohurupi.” He further added, “It’s an extra-special Puja release for me as an actor.” The film is expected to showcase his chemistry with Ritabhari, following their success in ‘Fatafati.’

According to Shiboprosad, the idea for ‘Bohurupi’ was conceived in 2011 after their film ‘Muktodhara’. He stated, “We started planning for the film in 2011; right after ‘Muktodhara’, we wanted to make this film that captures the timeline between 1998 and 2005.” The film is sure to be a treat for Bengali cinema lovers with its compelling storyline and talented cast.
