Matangi fiasco: Will Trina Saha be replaced after her tiff with Sohini Sarkar

Shooting for the web series Matangi encountered difficulties due to the reported tiff between Sohini Sarkar and Trina Saha. Last week, Trina Saha left the shooting floor in the middle of a crisis, leading to the suspension of the series production. As a consequence, the production company faced financial losses, and the filmmakers experienced challenges with casting.

Now, it seems that Trina Saha is no longer part of the web series. The production company is considering another actress to replace her and resume shooting. As per reports, Roshni Bhattacharya has been approached with an offer to take on the role meant for Trina. Roshni has acknowledged receiving the proposal but has yet to make any final decisions.

Earlier, Trina Saha had expressed regret in an interview with Hindustan Times Bangla, admitting her mistakes. She also sought forgiveness in written form, but it took two days for her to do so. According to Rudranil Ghosh, one of the producers of Matangi, actors need to adhere to their commitments and communicate any issues beforehand because financial liabilities are involved.

It has been reported that Trina Saha was upset about not being given enough facilities during the shoot, leading her to leave the floor without discussing her concerns. However, not everyone fully understood her perspective, as Rudranil explained that managing personal preferences outside of professional responsibilities is challenging. He emphasised that while they don’t provide special privileges to anyone, they do treat senior actors with respect and consideration on set.
