Pradhan: Dev and company start shooting in Chalsa

After Byomkesh O Durgo Rohoshyo, Dev will now appear in a new avatar. He will bring Bagha Jatin during Puja. Before that, he started the shooting of Pradhan, due to be released on Christmas, in North Bengal. Soumitrisha Kundu, of Mithai fame, will make her debut on film with Pradhan. 

Dev will be seen as a cop in the film. He shared a part of his look on social media. Dev, Soham Chakraborty, and Soumitrisha arrived at Chalsa in North Bengal on Wednesday. Paran Bandyopadhyay joined them on Thursday. Dev and Paran will appear together once again after Tonic, whose director Avijit Sen will also direct the present film. Dev and Atanu Roychoudhury, who also went to North Bengal with the team, are producing the film.

The story demands a hilly backdrop. But the director and the producer refused to say any more about the story. Dev lost weight for this film. The actor and Soham will appear together in front of the camera after eight years.

The team will shoot at different places in North Bengal for nineteen days. Sabitri Chattopadhyay will join the team at the last phase of the shooting. She will play a special character. 

Soumitrisha Kundu, a much-discussed actress on TV, has raised the interest of the audience who eagerly wait to see her chemistry with Dev. Soumitrisha, hopeful about her debut, previously said in an interview with Hindustan Times Bangla, “This is my first film. Hence I am elated. Atanu da, Avijit da, and Dev da are wonderful and talented people. This is a blessing to me.” 

Dev initially chose Soumitrisha as the heroine in Bagha Jatin. But Mithai's shooting was going on at that time, and the dates clashed. Then she was selected for Pradhan. Dev said, “Soumitrisha suits well to the character in the film.”
