The teaser of Ranjan Ghosh’s upcoming film Ahaa Re was unveiled in the presence of director Ranjan Ghosh, actress and producer Rituparna Sengupta, Sreela Majumdar, Arifin Shuvoo and Amrita Chattopadhyay.

The film is a love story essentially. It shows the love that develops between a Bangladeshi Muslim chef and a Hindu cook from Kolkata.

“Love transcends border and this love for food transcended the border and brought two people close to one another. I was not getting producers initially and Ritu di sent me to a few of them. After some search, when I did not get any producer, she decided to produce the film. The basic problem was that no one could pitch for a story when a Hindu and Muslim were not fighting. My Guru Aparna Sen however has mentioned that this is most mature script” said Ranjan Ghosh.

Ranjan Ghosh can only make an omelette and his secret desire is to be a good cook one day. This got channelled when he was writing the script and that is how food became such an important part of the film.

Arifin Shuvoo was excited about his work in the Tollywood film industry. This is his debut film in Tollywood. “When I heard the script, I fell in love with it. So I decided that I will do this film. I just hope that people will love my portrayal of the chef” said the actor.

Rituparna Sengupta did not reveal much about her character in the film. But she did mention that how food connects two individuals on two sides of the border will be interesting to watch for the audience.

Amrita who had always admired the works of Ranjan Ghosh revealed that she got lucky to work with him in his third film.

The film surely has an interesting story line and will make for a delightful watch for sure!!
