Shiboprosad Mukherjee, known for his dedication to his craft, underwent a remarkable transformation for his role in the 2014 film Ramdhanu. To embody the character of Laltu Dutta—a stressed parent striving to get his child into an English medium school— Shiboprosad adopted a rigorous routine, which he humorously described as "eating rice thrice a day and sleeping like a log."
A decade later, Shiboprosad, once again collaborating with director Nandita Roy, took on a challenging new role in Bohurupi.
