Anirban Bhattacharya’s debut feature film Ballabhpurer Roopkotha will hit the theatres on Diwali. On October 7, the first song of the film was dropped at an event in Kolkata. Sung by Sahana Bajpaei, Shaajo Shaajao is a romantic song penned by Anirban and composed by Debraj Bhattacharya. The song is arranged by Subhadeep Guha – Anirban’s long-time associate.
In the music video of Shaajo Shaajao, we get to take a sneak peek into the set. It starts with Surangana Bandyopadhyay – the heroine of the film – roaming around the village, Ballabhpurer. The song also showcases the dilapidated condition of the mansion of the hero, Bhupati Roy, played by Satyam Bhattacharya.
The song further reveals a collage of behind-the-scenes shots from the shooting period. Anirban and DOP Soumik Haldar are seen manoeuvring and instructing the cast and crew across the set.
Billed as a horror rom-com, Ballabhpurer Roopkotha is based on Badal Sircar’s eponymous play. After debuting in direction with the Hoichoi web series Mandaar, the actor-turned-director picked a feature film. Based on the text, Anirban, along with Pratik Dutta, penned the script. The trailer of the film was dropped in September. Anirban’s Mandaar released in 2021 November. The web series that features Sohini Sarkar, Debasish Mondal and others in lead has been appreciated by critics and viewers alike.
Besides Surangana and Satyam, the film also features Shyamal Chakraborty, Kripabindu Chowdhury, Surajit Sarkar, Sumanta Roy, Debraj Bhattacharya, Sandip Bhattacharya, Jhulan Bhattacharya, Shyamal Sarkar, and others. Ballabhpurer Roopkotha is a fantasy horror play with an underlying love story. Kolkata-based theatre group Nandipot has been staging shows of the play with Pratik and Saoli Chattopadhyay in lead.
