The music album launch of director Jiit Chakraborty’s film Shesher Golpo took place recently in the presence of the cast and crew of the upcoming Bengali film.

The film is an extension of Shesher Kobita. After many years of separation of Amit and Labanya, Amit now runs an old age home on the outskirts of the city. One day a retired professor of Oxford University comes there. She is none other than Labanya, his long lost love. There is also a parallel story of Akash and Kuhu. They have similar circumstances as was faced by Amit and Labanya many years ago. Does Amit and Labanya’s story get a happy ending? Will Kuhu and Akash have the same fate like Amit and Labanya?

The music of the film has been composed by Joy Sarkar. Nachiketa, Rupankar Bagchi, Anupam Roy, Somlata Acharya and Kaushiki Chakraborty have sung the songs in the film. The lyrics are by Rajib Chakraborty. There are four songs in the film.

For the first time, Nachiketa and Kaushiki Chakraborty have performed a duet for this film. Despite being a duet, Nachiketa revealed that he and Kaushiki have recorded the song separately.

The cast of the film consists of Soumitra Chatterjee, Mamata Shankar, Kharaj Mukherjee, Pallavi Chatterjee, Arna Mukhopadhyay, Durga Santra, Krishnokishor Mukhopadhyay and others.

Mamata Shankar who plays Labanya in the film said “I asked the director for the script first. I read the script and I was so impressed that I said yes. I have worked with Soumitra da in many films. Working with him is always a pleasure as you get to hear so many stories. He has played the role of my father, brother-in-law in many films. So yes the experience was good”.

Arna who plays Akash in the film revealed that working in the film was a huge experience for him. He got to share screen with veterans like Soumitra Chatterjee and hence he could learn how to approach a scene in a better manner.

Durga Santra plays Kuhu in this film. The actress was more thrilled to share screen space with Soumitra Chatterjee and Mamata Shankar than with her performance in the film. “This is a lifetime experience and I am so thrilled at having bagged such an opportunity” said the actress.

The film is produced by Swastika Film Production and is eyeing for release soon.
