Boiragi announced as music-driven romance with newcomers

After Ranna Baati, director Pratim D. Gupta is all geared up to start Boiragi. Touted as a large-scale theatrical venture, the film has been conceived as a sweeping, music-driven romance rooted in youthful emotion, desire, and restlessness, aiming to connect with a new generation of Bengali cinema-goers.In a first-of-its-kind move for the industry, the makers have announced that both the male and female leads of Boiragi will be selected entirely through open auditions. Newcomers will be shortlisted on a massive scale, with auditions scheduled to take place in Kolkata soon. Calling the decision bold and future-oriented, Pratim said that every era of cinema needs its own stars, and Boiragi seeks to discover fresh performers who feel “contemporary, fearless, and emotionally honest”. With its risky casting approach and emotionally charged narrative, Boiragi is already generating strong anticipation as one of the most talked-about Bengali films in development.
