Arindam Sil���s next film after the second Byomkesh is likely to be based on Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay���s Madam O Mahashoy. Talks are on for the movie that may star Kaushik Sen, Jisshu U Sengupta, Abir Chatterjee, Arpita and June. Confirming the news, the director told us, ���Yes, I am planning to direct this film after Byomkesh, but it���s still too early to talk about it.���
The film is about changing relationships in a world dominated by social media.
���Dishonesty and infidelity have become a part of our lives. Else, how could a 17-year-old boy get killed when out with friends?��� questioned Sil.
So, is the film a fitting reply to his detractors who claim Sil is only good with thrillers? ���My first film, Aborto, was not a thriller. I am known as a thriller master, but it was my producer and the audience who wanted me to make back-to-back thrillers. And even if I make only thrillers, what���s wrong with that? There was no one to make thrillers before me and now when I am doing it, people have issues. There are so many people who have already watched Eagoler Chokh and think I have nailed it,��� said Sil.
Abir Chatterjee, all praise for Sil, said the director can explore the dynamics of urban relationships without going overboard. ���I am so happy that Arindamda will be helming this project and I am a part of it. Everybody knows that Shirshendu is my favourite author and I am currently reading his novel to prepare for the film,��� said the actor. Jisshu, with whom Sil wanted to work for long, said, ���It is unfortunate that every time Arindamda offered me a role, I had prior commitments. But this time he has narrated the story to me and asked me to block my dates for end-December. I���m keeping my fingers crossed,��� said Jisshu. Arpita, who is in talks with the director, said, ���Let���s hope things fall into place and we work together in this film.���
The film will go on the floors in December-January and the script is currently being worked on by Sil and Padmanabha Dasgupta.
