Pradhan: Dev braves Dunki and Salaar wave, says it’s his responsibility

Dev’s new film Pradhan’s trailer came out on Friday. This is his third film directed by Avijit Sen. The cast and crew met the journalists at a club in Kolkata on Friday on the occasion of the trailer release. 

In 2023, Dev appeared as Byomkesh and Bagha Jatin. What is his thought about the hat trick? Dev told Anandabazar Online, “I don't know whether it will be a hattrick of success. I try to present something new to the audience each time. I can only say that I am hopeful.” 

During the release, several other heavyweight films will also be released. Shah Rukh Khan’s Danki will be there. South Indian superstar Prabhas is bringing his film Salaar. Kabuliwala, starring Mithun Chakraborty, will also be released at that time. What is Dev thinking about getting shows? Dev said, “If we give up, Bengali cinema will never get to live with dignity. I am not prepared to back up being scared. If I back up, many people will lose courage. We will see what happens.” After Tonic and Projapati, how much is he confident about Pradhan? Dev said, “If four people see my film in a hall and like it, they will bring four hundred others.” He also said, “I remember that during the release of Tonic, Kakababu’s release date was postponed. I asked Srijit not to postpone it. If we back out today, we will never get our place back in the future.”
