The next instalment of the Byomkesh series which starts next year, will have two of Anjan Dutt���s previous producers coming togetherWith Durga Puja just around the corner, it���s time for celebrations ��� time for foes to turn friends and make a fresh start. This year has anyway been a year of patch-ups in Tollywood.After Prosenjit Chatterjee and Srijit Mukherji decided to bury the hatchet, we hear that producer Kaustuv Ray has ironed out his differences with filmmaker
Anjan Dutt.
The duo has joined hands for the third instalment of the Byomkesh series, which will be either based on the crime mystery, Durgo Rahasya, or Kohen Kobi Kalidas. The film is set to hit the floors next year. But there���s a twist here. Buzz is that the film will be jointly produced by Kaustuv and
Rana Sarkar.
While Kaustuv had produced the first instalment of
Byomkesh Bakshi, based on Adim Ripu, it was Rana who had done the second,
Abar Byomkesh, based on Chitra Chor leading to a huge misunderstanding between Anjan, Rana and Kaustuv.
It so happened that after the success of
Byomkesh Bakshi, Anjan and Kaustuv had verbally agreed to make the other instalments together. But Kaustuv was in for a rude shock when he read it in the newspapers that Anjan was making the second film with Rana. ���I was hurt and that is when I decided to re-release
Byomkesh Bakshi on the same day of the new film���s release. Later, when Anjanda called me, we met and sorted out all our differences and misunderstandings. I am glad that henceforth Anjanda will be making
Byomkesh only with me. But somewhere deep down, I was feeling a bit guilty. I realized it was not right on my part to re-release
Byomkesh Bakshi along with the new one. So, I called Rana and asked him if he would like to jointly produce the third one with me. Life is short. There���s no point holding on to grudges,��� said Kaustuv.
And guess what? Rana has decided to co-produce the next
Byomkesh with Kaustuv. ���I never had any hard feelings for Kaustuvda. And I am glad we are working together for the third
Byomkesh,��� said Rana.
When we contacted Anjan, he promptly replied, ���I know for sure that Kaustuv is producing my next Byomkesh. If anyone is co-producing it, I am still not aware.
