After Mayurakshi, which was adjudged the Best Bengali Feature Film at the 65 National Film Awards, Prosenjit Chatterjee is all set to pair up with Atanu Ghosh for the director’s next. Talks are on with Jaya Ahsan to play the female lead. This is the first time that the Bangladeshi actress will work with Prosenjit. Though the Tollywood superstar did not open up on the storyline, he confirmed the news of working with the director. “It is true that after Mayurakshi, Atanu and I will be working together again. We are toying with two-three ideas but haven’t locked the final script yet. We have to look into the production logistics before zeroing in on the script. I love the sensitivity and finesse in his stories. The way he deals with the intricacies and complexities of the human mind is praiseworthy and this time too we will see such nuances in this yet untitled film,” said Prosenjit.
Jaya Ahsan, who was part of two Tollywood films this year — Bijoya and Konttho — and has also wrapped up the shoot of Atanu Ghosh’s Binisutoy. In this film, she will be seen playing the role of a strong yet vulnerable woman, Sraboni. Playing the lead opposite her is yet another powerful actor — Ritwick Chakraborty. Jaya has also lent her voice to the film’s album. She had earlier said that as a child, her parents used to train her in music and encourage her to take up art and crafts. The actress said yes to singing to make her character look more realistic. Jaya had previously sung in a Bangladeshi film, Dubshatar, and has since then not rendered any song in a feature film. Jaya, who is in talks for more roles in Bengal, is likely to visit the city sometime in August. In Bijoya, which released in January this year, Jaya essayed the character of Padma. The film is a sequel to Bishorjon, where she played the same character. In Konttho, Jaya played a speech therapist, Romila. She was appreciated for both the roles.
