Bonny Sengupta who plays one of the leads in
Saptaswa Basu’s next film ‘Jatugriho’ is currently shooting in Kalimpong’s picturesque locations. The actor along with newcomer Piyali Chatterjee took a long walk in the first scene. Meanwhile,
Paayel Sarkar who replaced
Anamika Chakraborty as one of the female leads will join the team next week.
Parambrata Chattopadhyay who will be seen as a 70-year-old priest will also start shooting his part in Kalimpong from next week.
"We are planning to release the film by end of this year, so there will be an extensive shooting schedule in the coming weeks. I hope the weather remains great so that can get a nice background," said the director.
Saptaswa Basu whose last film ‘Pratidwandi’, a crime thriller, saw
Saswata Chatterjee and Rudranil Ghosh opposite each other is back with ‘Jotugriha’, a horror-thriller.
Without divulging much about the storyline the director gives a sneak peek into the film’s plot. “A city guy takes up a job as a manager in a hotel in a town up in the hills. Soon he faces a mysterious energy surrounding a seemingly haunted mansion where he meets a local girl. The story continues with engaging twists and turns which uncovers some buried secrets from the past,” shares the director adding that he wants to create a sense of doom and horror in the minds of the viewers.
