‘Goyenda Junior’ shooting was like a picnic for Rwitobroto

‘Goyenda Junior’ marks young actor Rwitobroto Mukherjee’s reunion with director Mainak Bhaumik after creating quite a buzz last year with the slice-of-a-life drama ‘Generation Aami’.
Even Mainak says this film is like a continuation of a teenager’s saga from ‘Generation Aami’ and also a journey of the protagonist’s transformation into a detective. It’s almost the same cast as the previous film.
Since the cast is more or less same, we asked Rwitobroto about the shooting experience and the takeaways this time around.
“I was looking forward to working with Mainakda again after ‘Generation Aami’ because it is so much fun to work with him. We don’t really share an actor-director professional relationship. He is like my elder brother. I can always go up to him and we also hang out together often.
Quite like the experience of ‘Generation Aami’, shooting for ‘Goyenda Junior’ was almost like a picnic. Also, one tends to become addicted to the independence Mainak-da gives his artistes on the floor. It is quite rare to get such freedom to develop a character on my own,” reveals an elated Rwitibroto.
Produced by SVF, the film also stars Shantilal Mukherjee, incidentally Rwitobroto’s real-life father and Anusha Biswanathan in the lead.
