The title and the first poster of Abir Chatterjee and Mimi Chakraborty starrer upcoming thriller have been released today. The thriller titled Raktabeej is directed by Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee. The film is produced by Windows Production and it arrives in theatres this Durga Puja which means it will clash with Dev starrer upcoming period drama Bagha Jatin.
The shooting of this film will begin mainly around Kolkata and other parts of West Bengal from 15th March 2023. This is the first time we will see Abir Chatterjee and Mimi Chakraborty pairing opposite each other, they previously worked together in Katmundu & Bojhena Shey Bojhena.
The last few years were not good for Mimi Chakraborty as none of her films like Khela Jawkhon, Mini, Baazi, & SOS Kolkata worked well at the box office. And, she is keen to taste success during this Durga Puja when this thriller releases in theatres.
Abir Chatterjee starrer Karnasubarner Guptodhon dominated the box office last year’s Durga Puja and his celebration will be doubled up if he repeats the same this year also. His upcoming romantic drama Fatafati co-starring Ritabhari Chakraborty will be released on 12th May 2023.
The film marks the return of the veteran actor Victor Banerjee to the big screen after 3 years. Raktabeej also includes stars like Anashua Majumdar, Debasish Mondal, Satyam Bhattacharya, Ambarish Bhattacharya, & Kanchan Mullick.
The director duo who experimented with each film bringing a new concept to audiences, got success in Haami 2 & Bela Shuru last year and will be looking to continue their successful run.
After the announcement came, many fans on social media wanted to know whether the title was inspired by the Shah Rukh Khan starrer action thriller Pathaan or not as they heard the term “Raktbeej” there for the first time.
