Vikram Chatterjee and Ditipriya Roy have come together in a new film to be directed by Aditya Sengupta.
Vikram and Ditipriya will be introduced as a fresh pair on the big screen. The film will see them as two friends who bond over a beautiful road trip that helps them discover life and more. This will be actor- turned-director Aditya Sengupta’s debut as a film-maker on the silver screen, who is popularly remembered for the film Projapoti Biskut.
“I’ve known Aditya for a while and we’ve been planning to do a film together since 2017, which is finally materialising now. The script is brilliant, simple and lovable. The film is about friendship and love in the backdrop of a journey. Simple storytelling excites me a lot because people relate to it easily. It will be very exciting to work with Aditya, Ditipriya, Rahul, Sampurna and the entire team. It is a very young team and will bring a lot of freshness on screen,” said Vikram.
Interestingly, Ditipriya also starred in Projapoti Biskut. “And now he’s directing me. I’m also very excited to be working alongside Vikram in this film whom I’ve known for years and this will be our first film together. We will be shooting in the beautiful locales of Sikkim. This project is a collaboration of young people and I hope the audience will enjoy it,” said Ditipriya.
“With this film, the aim is to tell a generational story. About friendship, love and a journey of self discovery. These are all universal themes and hopefully the audience will be able to connect with the story and the characters in a unique, emotional way. It’s a simple, soulful story... filled with the little things that make life worth living. Two lifelong friends embark on a road trip to the mountains, to fulfil a childhood plan. This journey brings them closer to each other but also makes them realise how far apart their realities are. At the core of the film is a friendship, which is more than a decade old, and this story looks at how relationships with friends change over time. I hope that this film resonates deeply with people and brings a smile to their faces,” says Aditya.
Produced by Small Taalk Ideas (Sampurna Lahiri and Rahul Bhanja) and Kashish (by Kamal Pugulia), the shoot for the film is scheduled to start this year. Actor-turned- producer Sampurna Lahiri,
co-founder of Small Taalk Ideas, said: “This is our second venture as a production house and is special for various reasons. My association with both Vikram and Aditya go way back. While Aditya was my first co-actor in a docu-feature that we worked on together, Vikram and I have been friends for over a decade and have always planned to work together in a film. Finally our wish comes true but as an actor-producer jodi. Ditipriya is a charming girl and a brilliant actor. I’m glad she’s part of our film. This announcement becomes more special as the guardian of the film industry, Bumbada (Prosenjit) sent us his blessings and wishes. There is nothing more I can ask as a new producer,” says Sampurna.
