Joy Sengupta, Dipanwita Rakshit, Joyjit Banerjee, Jeet Sundor and Anuja Roy star in the KLIKK series Professor Sengupta, which follows Dr. Anirban Sengupta, a psychology professor, who lives alone in a quiet house nestled in the hills. Occasionally, Tinni, a little girl, visits her “Ani Uncle.” Anirban adores her, making dolls and giving her chocolates. Their tranquil life takes a dark turn when officer-in-charge Rajat arrives, investigating a body found on a jungle road. Initially, it seems like an accident, but the post-mortem report reveals it to be a murder.
The investigation leads Rajat to Anirban’s house as the victim was someone Anirban knew well — he was not just an acquaintance, but his former student. As the enquiry progresses, Rajat learns about Tinni. Visiting her home, he is stunned when Tinni reveals she saw a severed ear in Ani Uncle’s refrigerator. Rajat’s suspicions grow stronger.
“What truly drew me to this story is its outdoor essence. Personally, I’m not a fan of indoor shoots — there’s something magical about the natural world. Be it jungles, mountains, or riversides, I believe they add life to storytelling. That’s why this series was shot across vibrant locations in Calcutta. We explored the serene beauty of North Bengal and the rustic charm of Ghatshila. We traveled a lot, and every frame reflects that journey. This psychological thriller stands as a benchmark of its new storytelling style. With stellar performances, striking cinematography, and an emotionally rich musical treatment, it’s an experience the audience won’t forget,” said director Rajdeep Ghosh.
“When it came to essaying such a complex, multilayered grey character with a deeply complex timeline spanning several years, one had to walk a tightrope, a fine line, balancing trauma with desire, cultural nuance with raw undercurrents. The team, led by our dynamic director Rajdeep Ghosh, stood out for one rare and admirable quality: a burning ambition to achieve a cinematic vision unrestricted by the script or limited resources. He has already helmed three popular web series earlier on the platform. Rajdeep, along with our young and talented cinematographer Subhodip Roy, brought the technical skill and visual flair so vital for a psychological thriller, crafting arresting images that linger. I hope the audience appreciates and embraces the sheer hard work and collaborative spirit that went into this project,” said actor Joy Sengupta.
“This is my first web series, and I’m very thankful that I’ve made this momentous web debut journey with KLIKK. Though the shooting schedule was in the picturesque mountains, it was very hectic, and the weather was quite perilous at times, I thoroughly enjoyed the short adventurous experience. This is a layered narrative, and I consider myself fortunate to have worked with such talented seniors like Joy Sengupta and Joyjit Banerjee, who I’ve grown up watching on screen. My contemporaries Jeet Sundor and Anuja Roy were also very supportive. Though we were all working together for the first time, we’ve bonded well and helped each other improve our performances, too. It was a lovely experience sketching out the straightforward young working girl Sreshtha, who balances her work and love life. She is an ordinary, pretty girl who has a happy demeanour,” said actor Dipanwita Rakshit.
“The weather set the perfect mood, and our post-shoot addas amidst the sounds of insects and the occasional load-shedding made it all the more memorable! Portraying a cop after a long gap was definitely a challenge, especially when so many actors are donning the uniform these days. I knew I had to add a little extra ‘salt and pepper’ to stand out — and I think I did just that. It was also my first time working with Rajdeep Ghosh as a director, and I must say, it was a great experience. He was clear-headed, knew exactly what he wanted, and the script and dialogues really clicked with me,” said actor Joyjit Banerjee.
