Rajaditya Banerjee

and his team have wrapped up the shoot for his second feature and his first in Bengali, titled

Shivaratri

. This film marks the debut of Bangladeshi model and actor Airin Sultana in Tollywood. The cast also includes Rajaditya, Suman Banerjee, Parthasarathy Kumar, Arian Dutta, Shreyangshi Mukherjee, Pradeep Dey, Biplab Dutta, Sougoto Mukherjee and others. The film revolves around

Madhuban

, who is a brilliant

theatre

actor. He loves theatre and believes in making a difference to the world in his own ways. He is technologically challenged and does not understand or adopt to a fast-changing India around him. He is rejected by the woman he intended to marry and his own society.
Slowly, he realises that society has no place for defeated people. Madhuban finds refuge in helping the poor and those forgotton by the society. The iconoclast inside him turns into an armed rebel. Yet, he remains committed to the arts and finds refuge in chhau dance and theatre. Police in Sitanpur are trying to defeat a secessionist movement. They take over a house in Sitanpur. While Madhuban wages a war, Anjali, who is from the same village, seeks justice for the poor and the downtrodden. Do they meet? Does the society accept lovers who wants to defy the system? What is arts’ place in a world driven by technology and materialism? The film tries to answer these questions. Rajaditya’s debut film, Death Certificate, was the first-ever art house feature film in

Kurmali

language that received awards and accolades from various European and American Film Festivals.
