Srijit Mukherji has already made two
Kakababu
films — ‘Mishawr Rawhoshyo’ and ‘Yeti Obhijaan’. While, the first film was a runaway hit, the second one received mixed reviews. And now, the third instalment of Kakababu is set to release this Puja.
“This film will be very different from the previous two since the location will be completely different. It’s the third part of the trilogy. The first movie was shot in a desert, the second in the mountains and the third will take the audience to the jungles of Africa. I have also treated the story a bit differently and given some elements of my own. So, it will be a different experience during the Pujas this time,” said Srijit while speaking about the much-anticipated Kakababu film.
The adventure flick titled ‘
Kakababur Protyaborton
’ is based on
Sunil Gangopadhyay
’s novel ‘Jongoler Modhye Ek Hotel’. The story follows Raja Roy Chowdhury aka Kakababu and his nephew, Santu, who go to Nairobi, Kenya, for a relaxed trip. There, they get hosted by a Bengali couple, Amal and Manju. He also gets an invite from an Africa-based Indian businessman and his partner to visit their hotel inside Maasai Mara forest. A few days before their arrival, some German tourists go missing from the hotel. What happens next forms the crux of the film.
Srijit, whose latest release ‘Dwitiyo Purush’ has been lapped up by the audience, was supposed to shoot the Kakababu film last year. But the project was pushed back and then the director started working on ‘Gumnaami’. Srijit will now start the shoot soon. A large portion of ‘Kakababur Protyaborton’ will be shot in Kenya and will see
prosenjit Chatterjee in the titular role while
Aryann Bhowmik will reprise his Santu character.
