A guy is unsuccessful in his love life. He is a big fan of the legend, Uttam Kumar. His friend Gourab (Gourab Chatterjee) criticizes him and tells him that he is such a big fan of Uttam Kumar. He questions how he cannot be successful in his romance. The heartbroken guy then Plan-chets and Uttam Kumar come to his rescue. However, he has a few conditions before helping the guy. How the legendary actor becomes a Love-guru for this young man and helps him to get his love is what Oti Uttam all about.

A press meet was organized in the presence of the cast and crew of the upcoming Bengali film Oti Uttam. Director Srijit Mukherji, producer Rupa Datta of Camellia Productions, Gourab Chatterjee, Roshni Bhattacharya, Anindya Sengupta, and others graced the press meet.

Speaking at the occasion, Srijit Mukherji said “We have used footages and reconstructed them with effects for this film. This kind of daring work might not have been done by any filmmaker till now. Tollywood film industry might lack in huge budgets but what we have is undying passion and love for cinema”.

The film is a romantic comedy, according to the director.

Roshni Bhattacharya who is the female lead in the film said that she was shocked when she got the call from the director to act in his film. The biggest achievement for her was to act opposite Uttam Kumar in the film.

Gourab was slated to work with Srijit Mukherji in his first film Autograph. However, they could not work together due to some reasons. “I am grateful that after ten years, we got the chance to work together. The fact that he remembered me speaks immensely about him as a human being. I was nervous during the initial shooting. He coaxed me and said you will be acting opposite your grandfather. So chill and that was a huge boost” said the actor.

The cast of the film consists of Roshni Bhattacharya, Anindya Sengupta, Gourab Chatterjee, Anwesha Tarafder, Subhasis Mukherjee, Labony Sarkar, and Sonia Roychowdhury in pivotal roles.

The film is eyeing for release during Durga Puja 2021.
