Based on Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's short story 'Abhagir Swargo', writer-director Anirban Chakraborty is making a new film titled ‘O Abhagi’. The film will see Rafiath Rashid Mithila playing the titular role of Abhagi. The rest of the cast will have Sayan Ghosh as Rasik, Subrata Dutta as Jamindar, Debjani Chatterjee as Ginni Ma, Rj Jinia as Tagor, Krishno Banerjee as Kesta, Sourav Halder as Kangali, Ishan Mazumder as Yamraj and others in important roles.
Speaking about the film and what the audience can expect from the storyline the director shared, "Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay was such an author who always gave a lot of content in just a single line and all his stories and novels are familiar to film scripts, that’s why he is my favourite. ‘O Abhagi’ is an adaptation of ‘Abhagir Swargo’. The raw and harsh reality of rural culture has been portrayed in this film. The presentation and the treatment of every audiovisual part are unique and experimental. A lot of new central characters are added in the screenplay with the main characters created by Sarat Chandra. The challenge was to create something new without tampering with the essence of the actual story."
Anirban himself has penned the screenplay, Malay Mondal is the DOP, Sujay Datta Ray is the editor and
Mousumi Chatterjee is the music director of ‘O Abhagi’. Eminent singers including Rupankar Bagchi, Lagnajita Chakraborty, Animesh Roy, Chandrani Banerjee and Anirban Roy Aakash have lent their voices to the songs.
