Ankush will be seen in debutant director Souvik Bhattacharjee’s film Mrigaya.

The story begins with five close friends (Sam, Xo, Ricky, Ivy, and Jhora) who disappear on a vacation trip at the mysterious beach of Gokulpur. Does it sound simple? No, it isn’t simple as we move ahead to find out about different unpleasant, dark, and shady characters and their deeds. These five students are not just from rich prosperous and noble imposing families, but one of them has a political background and is a brother of a state youth minister. What happens then? Are they found out?

This is the pre-qual story. The sequel script is already being written and soon to be shot after the post-production of Mrigaya part 1.

The cast of the film consists of Ankush Hazra, Darshana Banik, Subrata Dutta, Bidipta Chakraborty, Biswarup Biswas, Suman Banerjee, Sayan Ghosh, and others.

Ankush plays the character of Anjan Sengupta a cop from Special Task Force (STF) who gets deputed for the missing case. Subrata Dutta plays the character of a local police officer Inspector Maity of Gokulpur. Darshana Banik plays the character of Ankush’s wife.

Debutant director Souvik Bhattacharjee highlighted the fact that this project has no connection with the Mrinal Sen-classic ‘Mrigaya’ nor is it a remake of it. The term ‘Mrigaya’ literally translates into ‘the chase’ or ‘the hunt’ and the film’s storyline delves into a hunt in every sense- physical, psychological, social.

The story has been written by Souvik Bhattacharjee. The script and screenplay have been written by Bishwajit Halder and Sourav Malakar. The cinematography is being handled by Ripon Hossain. Sanglap Bhowmik is editing the film.

The music is being composed by Dev Arijit and Rahul Majumdar. Anupam Roy will be lending his voice for this movie.

The film is being produced by STDS Entertainment.

The movie will be shot in various places across Kolkata, Orrisa, and suburbs. The shoot starts on 19th November 2020.
