Exclusive! Srijato on Manabjamin: I am nervous and yet waiting eagerly for the film to release

Poet Srijato is all set to debut with the film Manabjamin which features Paran Bandyopadhyay, Priyanka Sarkar, and Parambrata Chatterjee in the lead. The title of the film takes a cue from Ramprasadi Shyama Sangeet. In fact, Arijit Singh recorded the Ramprasad Sen’s song, Mon Re Krishi Kaj Jano Na, for the film. On the day of Kali Puja on Monday, the tentative time of the release of the film is announced. Manabjamin will be released in January 2023. 

Srijato is all excited about the release. “We all decided to release it in January next year. The date is yet to be finalised but the tentative time is January,” he told OTTplay. Talking about his feelings, he said, “I am somewhat aware of this feeling. When I write a novel or a manuscript of a poem collection, I am completely attached to my creation. And then one day, it goes to print and I start panicking. I know now the readers will be able to taste it, like it, or reject it. The feeling with Manabjamin is similar. As of now, only we – the unit – are closely attached to it. Now the time is coming when the audience too will watch it. I am nervous but also waiting for the film to be released,” he explained.

Billed as a romantic comedy, the film will see veteran actor Paran Bandyopadhyay as a pivotal character. The shooting of the film took place later last year. However, it stalled after Priyanka met with an accident in December 2021. A bike rammed into the set of Hoichoi’s web series Mahabharat Murders and the actress had to undergo surgery. Finally, the shoot was wrapped up in April this year. Meanwhile, Srijato and his team waited for Priyanka to completely recover. Later, Priyanka expressed her gratitude. She told us that she was indebted to the Manabjamin team for waiting for her recovery. After her accident and the subsequent surgery, the actress’s mobility suffered. According to sources, after a lot of exercises and physiotherapy, she got back on her feet.
