The trailer of SVF and Srijit Mukherji’s much awaited thriller, Dwitiyo Purush released recently.

9 years ago, SVF and director Srijit Mukherji created a masterpiece called Baishey Srabon that became a sensation among the genre of thrillers. Now a nearly a decade later, the makers are back with its spin-off Dwitiyo Purush.

The story of Dwitiyo Purush will commence from where Baishey Srabon had left off and will see actor Parambrata Chattopadhyay reprise the role of chief detective Abhijit Pakarashi and Raima Sen will bring back her character Amrita, Abhijit’s love interest. Also, returning to the role of Surya will be Bengali actor Abir Chatterjee who has a special appearance in the film.

In the trailer, actor Anirban Bhattacharya surprises everyone with the dangerous look of a character named Khoka, who is synonymous with violence. So is the character essayed by Rwitobroto Mukherjee. He sheds his boy-next-door avatar to look intimidating and fearsome. Also seen in the trailer are actors Babul Supriyo and Kamaleswar Mukherjee.

The trailer starts with a voiceover from veteran superstar Prosenjit Chatterjee, (who had essayed the iconic character of Prabir Roychowdhury in Baishey Srabon), bidding adieu to everyone, thus signifying the beginning of a new chapter.

The story moves to a situation in Kolkata where a series of serial killings plague the city again after 25 years of its first occurrence and Abhijit Pakrashi (Parambrata) is given the task of unearthing the killer. Thus, ensues an unpredictable journey to find the murderer.

Talking about his new venture, director Srijit Mukherji said that directing the film Dwitiyo Purush felt like a re-union with my old teammates (Param, Raima, Abir, Anupam Roy) with whom he had started the journey of making thrillers with Baishey Srabon. He thanked Bumba Da (Prosenjit Chatterjee) for launching the trailer online with whom Baishey Srabon had ended and with whom Dwitiyo Purush gets a welcome, making it a full circle.

The music of the film has been composed by Anupam Roy.

Dwitiyo Purush is slated to release on 23rd January 2020 as the first official release of SVF for 2020.
