Raj Chakraborty

OTTplay has earlier reported that Raj Chakraborty will be directing a Hindi web series. It is heard that Raj's longtime hard work is going to be materialised. We further reported that he will direct a Hindi series based on his hit Bengali film Parineeta. The series will be released on a national OTT platform. 

Parineeta was released in 2019 where Raj broke his comfort zone and made a new kind of film. This was also a milestone in Subhasree Ganguly’s career because she proved herself as a strong actress with the film. She also proved her capabilities outside so-called commercial films. Mehul's love story with Babai da, played by Ritwick Chakraborty, was a hit. The film was a mixture of love and revenge.
