Director Subhrajit Mitra recently announced his next project “Mayamrigaya” which is based on Rabindranath Tagore’s “Dui Bon”. Mayamrigaya is a period drama that requires extensive research and minute detailing and the director is also focused on getting those parameters correct.

The pre-production of Mayamrigaya is in full swing. Pt. Bickram Ghosh will be composing the music for the film. Indranil Ghosh is the art director. Sohag Sen is in charge of the acting workshops.

“Dui Bon” was first published in 1933 and is one of Tagore’s last three novels. It is about the eternal conflict that arises when a man does not find a mother figure and a sweetheart in the same person. He needs the former and desires the latter. Interestingly Tagore has written this novel as the antithesis of another of his famous novel  Noshtonir.

Arpita Chatterjee is playing the elder sister “Sharmila” while Ritabhari Chakraborty is playing the younger sister “Urmimala”. Indraneil Sengupta is playing the character “Shashanka” while Ditipriya Roy will play the role of “Rokeya”.

Sandeep Sarkar, Rimi Nayak, and Navanita Dutta Chowdhury will be creating more than 250 grand costumes and jewelry for the characters.

The shooting of Mayamrigaya will begin this winter.
