Mahalaya is just around the corner, and the early morning shows based on Mahishasura Mardini on television channels have always been a special attraction for Bengalis. Like every year, popular stars of the TV and film industry act in those shows in the characters of Durga and Mahishasura on different channels. This time, the morning show in Star Jalsa is named Ja Chandi, where Sonamani Saha will be seen as Ma Durga, Debchandrima Singha Roy of Saheber Chithi fame will be seen as Sanatani Parvati, Swastika Ghosh, who starred in Anurager Chnoya, will be seen as Chamunda and Solanki Roy will also be seen as another important avatar of Ma Durga. Meanwhile, Sourav Das, who is famous for his web series Montu Pilot on Hoichoi, will be seen as Mahisasur. 

Recently, a poster was shared by the channel which shows Sourav as the devilish Mahishasur. However, a group of netizens brutally trolled him for his new avatar. One person wrote that he looks like an addict, and will fall with a slight thrust. He was also body shamed for being thin. Someone called him Talpatar Sepai (paper soldier). The actor was unavailable to comment. 

Meanwhile, his next film Karna Subarner Guptodhon – Dhrubo Banerjee's third instalment of the Sonada franchise, Besides Abir Chatterjee as Sonada, Arjun Chakrabarty as Abir and Ishaa Saha as Jhinuk, Saurav will be seen in an important character. On the other hand, his famous web series Montu Pilot has also been renewed for season three. It was announced at Hoichoi's sixth-anniversary party on Tuesday.     

This is not the first time Saurav was trolled. Previously, he shared a video with his sister which went viral and he got subjected to much criticism. He explained himself a number of times but did not escape the trolls that time.
