Some of Kolkata's most historic areas were used to film crucial scenes, showcasing how the production crew used real locations to ground the story. According to the source, "The team has shot several key sequences in Kolkata’s older neighbourhoods and colonial-era buildings."

Post-production underway

The transition from the set to the editing suite is currently underway. "The post-production is currently underway in Mumbai, and the streamer is expected to announce the title and release date later this year," the insider stated, implying that details about the launch will be revealed within the past year.

Raj Chakraborty has had a fruitful career in Bengali cinema, scoring hits such as Proloy (2013), Parineeta (2019), Habji Gabji (2022), and the just-released Shontaan (2024), among many more. Now he is taking his talents to the Hindi digital realm. For a nationwide streaming audience, he is breaking new ground with this untitled project that features long-form narrative.

Reunion of director and lead actor

Furthermore, this series reunites Chakraborty with lead actor Parambrata Chatterjee. This romantic thriller is the third professional partnership for the famous duo, who have previously worked together on the critically acclaimed crime drama Proloy (2013) and the social drama Habji Gabji (2022).

An upcoming series set in two different but equally evocative locations—the political intensity of Kolkata and the scenic atmosphere of Darjeeling—and directed by a filmmaker known for social commentary and tight narratives has the makings of a giant hit for JioHotstar. The cast is diverse and well-known. The streamer will reveal the title and premiere date in their formal announcement.
