After his first feature film ‘Network’,
Saptaswa Basu is coming up with his next directorial ‘
Pratidwandi
’.
Saswata Chatterjee yet again will be seen playing one of the leads alongside
Rudranil Ghosh. According to the director this will be his tribute to
Satyajit Ray.
Giving a sneak peek into the film’s subject the director shares with ETimes, “The pivotal characters in Pratidwandi have grey shades and as the title suggests, they are in conflict with each other. The plot is set against a medical backdrop, after murders and kidnappings start taking place in a city on a regular basis. The music of the film is also contemporary, keeping in sync with the backdrop of the story, penned by Raz Dee and Pratik Kundu.”
Saswata will be seen as Dr. Bakshi while Rudranil will play the match teacher Sukumar Sen and both the characters have been plotted against each other. Interestingly, in his previous film Saptaswa had plotted Saswata and Sabyasachi opposite each other and the two acting powerhouses nailed it in the revenge drama.
It all starts when Dr. Bakshi’s son gets kidnapped and Sukumar becomes one of the suspects. When investigation starts it’s revealed there were few murders in the city and all are somehow connected to the investigation.
The script has been developed by Arnab Bhowmik and his team. Music will be composed by ‘Sweater’ and ‘Hridpindo’ fame Ranajoy Bhattacharjee. If all goes according to plan, shoot will start later this month.
