The press conference of the film Mayaa took place at Double Down Brewpub & Cafe, Kolkata in the presence of the entire cast and crew of the film.

The main themes of the movie Mayaa, directed by Raajhorshee De and based on the play Macbeth, are greed, ambition, sin, and corruption. The movie conveys the concept of how each character’s behavior was motivated by ambition, greed, heartlessness, and the desire for total power through the use of multiple characters and subplots inside the main plot. This is the first-ever Bengali film adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

This film’s cast consists of Rafiath Rashid Mithila, Tanusree Chakraborty, Richa Sharma, Koneenica Banerjee, Sudipta Chakraborty, Ranieeta Dash, Ratasree Dutta, Devlina Kumar, Sudiptaa Banerjee, Sayantani Guhathakuta, Kamaleswar Mukherjee, Gaurav Chakrabarty, Gourab Chatterjee, Rahul Arunoduoy Banerjee, Anindya Chatterjee, Ishan Mazumder, Rohit Banerjee, Ashim Roy Chowdhury, and Kan Singh Sodha.

The film is presented by DSR Entertainment House and Produced by Debdas Banerjee and Rohit Banerjee.

Directed by Raajhorshee De, this is his next release after the huge success of AbbarKanchanjangha. The film is based on the perspective of women’s empowerment.

According to the director Raajhorshee De this was his toughest film to date. It is a very different adaptation as it is a subversion of Macbeth from a woman’s perspective.

Mayaa is written by Ebong Ipsita and Rajhorshee De.

The music is composed by Ranajoy Bhattacharjee and the songs have been sung by Rupankar, Somlata, and Ujaan.

The film is all set to release at the theatres on 7th July 2023.
