Mithai-fame Soumitrisha Kundu to star opposite Dev

After a run of over two years, the popular serial Mithai is coming to an end. The last day of the shoot took place on Monday. Mithai made Soumitrisha Kundu a household name. Her fans were rather disappointed after the serial came to an end. However, soon after the last day of the shoot, the actress came up with a piece of bigger and brighter news. She will be seen on the big screen and that too, opposite none other than superstar Dev. 

In an interview, Soumitrisha said that Atanu called her up and asked if she was interested in acting in films. She readily agreed as she has always aspired to be a film actress. She also mentioned that Avijit Sen is one of her favourite directors. 

Earlier, television actress Shweta Bhattacharya worked with Dev in Projapoti. Several TV actresses, including Ritabhari Chakraborty, Solanki Roy, and Oindrila Sen, became stars on the big screen.  

Along with Dev ad Soumitrisha, Pradhan will also feature Paran Bandyopadhyay. Dev-Avijit Atanu dropped their hit film Projapoti in December last year. Before that, Tonic, which also features Dev and Paran Bandyopadhyay, was also a major box office success. However, as per the makers, despite the same cast, Pradhan will have no connection with Tonic and hence it is not a sequel.

After the success of Tonic and Projapati, will Pradhan mark the hattrick of success of the actor-director-producer combo? The makers said that the expectations rose. But they are ready to make the film bigger and better than the previous two films.
