The poster of Mahalaya directed by
Soumik Sen has created a lot of curiosity among the audience. The poster which features Subhashish Mukherjee and Jisshu U Sengupta on an old newspaper in the background is praised by all. It is a story of 1976, where
Uttam Kumar replaced
Birendra Krishna Bhadra
in Mahisasurmardini that's aired on Mahalaya on radio. It created a huge outrage among the audience as Birendra Krishna’s
Sanskrit
recitation was so famous. “The poster idea was by Bumba da (
Prosenjit Chatterjee) and I am getting a lot of positive feedback from it as it is generating a lot of nostalgia among the audience,” said the director. He added, “I feel Subhashish da should have got meaty roles after Herbert but sadly not many scripts or roles are written keeping them in mind. It was lovely working with Subhashish da and Jisshu.”
