Bengali audiences are in for a treat as the trailer of Projapati is out. Featuring superstars Mithun Chakraborty and Dev in lead roles, the film tells a tender story of father and his son. On Thursday, Bengal Talkies, Pranab Kumar Guha and superstar, Dev, released the trailer of their upcoming Christmas release ‘Projapati’ in the presence of the director Avijit Sen and Atanu Raychaudhuri along with the star cast.
Veteran actress and danseuse Mamata Shankar will also be seen playing a major role in the film along with talented actors like Kharaj Mukherjee, Ambarish Bhattacharya, Biswanath Basu, Konineeca Banerjee and Koushani Mukherjee amongst others. Popular small screen actor Sweta Bhattacharya is debuting in this movie.
“After the ground-breaking success of ‘Tonic’, we are coming with ‘Projapati’ this season that will connect with everyone. The movie has a mass appeal and will portray the endearing relation between a father and his son. Projapati is also very special as almost forty-seven years after Mrigaya, this movie reconnects ace actors Mithun Chakraborty and Mamata Shankar where they will be sharing the screen space together. The warm and emotional story is bound to captivate the audience”, said Atanu Raychaudhuri on behalf of Bengal Talkies.
“Working with two superstars will always remain afresh in my memory. We all need a good friend, a companion in our lives, Projapati narrates the story of this father-son duo so benignly that will empathize with the audience. Debutante Sweta Bhattacharya has skilfully acted and the audience would also like Mamata Shankar’s role in the movie”, said director Avijit Sen, who is one of the most sought-after names after delivering a hit like ‘Tonic’.
