Hoichoi’s New Series Noshtoneer Revolves Around #MeToo
Aditi Roy directed series Noshtoneer’s trailer was launched in the presence of the director and the cast of the show consisting of Sandipta Sen, Shoumo Banerjee, Anindya Chatterjee, Rahul Dev Bose, writer Samragnee Bandopadhyay and others.
The story is about a married woman Aparna who is always devoted to the well-being of her family. Her world is shattered when her husband faces a #MeToo allegation. What happens next?
Speaking at the trailer launch, Sandipta Sen said “I am glad that I was asked to play the role of Aparna. This is my second collaboration with the director. It is always a pleasure to work with her. And this time the story is very topical and a serious issue in our society. The look in this series is different and the audiences will get to see me in a different light”.
Shoumo Banerjee who plays Rishabh Gangopadhyay, Aparna’s husband said “I met Samragnee at a café one day. She was busy with her work and I was just chilling. Later when I was selected for the role, she told me that she was writing about my character that day at the café. The world is indeed small. The greatest compliment I got during shooting this series was that I am looking like a real molester”.
The director did not divulge much about the storyline. However, she said that #MeToo is very much topical in today’s times. And to be able to present a story revolving around this theme is indeed a cumbersome task. She thanked the writer and the cast for their efforts in making such a great show.
Rahul Dev Bose plays Aparna’s brother-in-law in the series. The actor urged the audience to watch the show and share their thoughts about the series.
Rooqma Ray, and Angana Roy will also be seen in important roles in this series.
Noshtoneer will start streaming on 9th June on Hoichoi.
