Jisshu will have a Puja release after years. However, he feels that if a film is good, it will work any time a year. “If the film is good, the content is good, the film will work at any time in the year,” he said. Meanwhile, the actor agrees that the market opens wider during Puja as more people step out to watch films. “Bengalis step out more during Puja. They roam around, go to restaurants and watch films. They enjoy their holidays. That’s why if a film gets released during Durga Puja, it is watched more,” the actor told us.

However, a Puja release means the actor gets more occupied with the promotions. “For me, a Puja release is not as fun as everyone else because I get less time to enjoy. We have our own Puja. If there is a Puja at your house, you will have way more things to do with your family. Now if there is a release, I get involved in promotions, etc. I don’t get to enjoy Puja that much. For me, Puja brings back my mother’s memory. My mother used to host this Puja at my ancestral home. After he passed away in 2008, I took over. Obviously, all the uncles, aunts, and neighbours join us. It is a big celebration for me,” he told us.

Talking about his Puja plans, Jisshu said, “There is a chance that my daughters, Nilanjanaa (Senguptaa, wife) and I will go for a trip. There are four works (films and OTT) going on – two Telugu and two Hindi. I have been very busy shooting.”
