“Raj Can Think Out-Of-The-Box”-Saswata Chatterjee

Animesh Datta, an officer of the Crime Branch is on a quest to apprehend the Sunderbans girl trafficking ringleader. Before additional young girls vanish, will he be able to find the offender? This is the storyline of the upcoming ZEE5 web series Abar Proloy.

A press conference was organized in the presence of director Raj Chakraborty, Saswata Chatterjee, June Maliah, Koushani Mukherjee, Sohini Sengupta, Gaurav Chakrabarty, Saayoni Ghosh, Paran Bandopadhyay and others.

Raj Chakraborty said “When Bengali directors are considered on the national level, people think that they can only make films or series on a small scale. But with this series, we wanted to prove that Bengali directors have the mettle to make a big-scale series or film. We also have the requisite actors and other team members who can do justice to such a production”.

The director also added that many people initially thought that Abar Proloy would be a film but it was a series. The scale and the production value have mesmerized the audiences.

Saswata Chatterjee who plays Animesh Datta said “Raj has the capacity to do anything. If he can make me Animesh Datta and make me do such things in the series, he can achieve anything. He is a star maker and he has the ability to make stars”.

Subhashree turned producer with this series. Speaking at the event, the actress-producer said “I had only signed contracts till now and never did I sign anyone before. So this was a completely new experience for me. It was tough signing so many actors but it was worthwhile”.

Koushani Mukherjee will be seen in a de-glam look in the series. “It is high time that people will see me in a new look courtesy of Raj da. He is my maker and guide in the film industry. Audiences have associated me with glam roles but it will be a revelation for them with this series. He is the only person who can make a non-actor like me into an actor” added the actress.

June Maliah said that she again got the chance to act opposite Saswata Chatterjee in this series. “It was a pleasure to work with him again” added the actress.

Raj Chakraborty also added that he has taken two characters from the film Proloy for this series. The two characters are Animesh Datta and Binod Behari Dutta, played by Paran Bandopadhyay. Apart from this, all the characters and storyline is new.

Gaurav said that he could experiment for the first time with a role. He has always received roles that are similar to his real-life persona. As a result, the actor was looking forward to the release of the project and seeing him in a new avatar on screen.
