Prosenjit to play teacher
The actor is part of Gaurav Pandey’s next titled ‘Hanuman.com’. To be shot in Iceland, the film has generous doses of romance and comedy
It’s been a while since Gaurav Pandey’s “Shukno Lanka” with Mithun Chakraborty playing a junior actor sent a ripple in the industry. Now comes the news that the director will be working with Prosenjit Chatterjee for his next. Titled “Hanuman.com”, the film will have the actor play a teacher.
Says Prosenjit, “I loved Mithunda in Gaurav’s “Shukno Lanka”. Gaurav is a terrific writer. When he offered me the script of this film, I was blown away. I play a school teacher from Malda. Whoever read the script of the film told me that it requires no correction whatsoever. It’s partly a comedy and partly a love story. We haven’t yet decided on the rest of the cast.” The interesting part is that the film will be shot in Iceland. “We intend to shoot in the summers when we will get proper daylight there.”
Meanwhile, the actor is committed to do Neeraj Pandey’s next. “The film is called “Bhitu”. I am playing a coward there. I should start work on that movie sometime around August/September. Soumik Chatterjee, who directed “Phande Poriya Boga Kande Re”, is planning a psychological film with me. It’s not a thriller but explores the mindspace of a man who is obsessed with memories. Srijit is toying with two or three projects. We are planning to create a character that will be very different from what I played in “Baishey Srabon” or “Autograph”. I will start shooting it in June/July. I am also doing Parambrata’s next movie. I was supposed to play a cop in the film but the role is now being rewritten,” says the actor, who is now shooting in Hyderabad for Rajib’s Next.
