Team Pradhan recently got together to celebrate the success of the film, which has completed a 50-day run in the theatres. Starring Dev, Paran Bandopadhyay, Soham, Koneenica Banerjee, Soumitrisha Kundu, Biswajit Chakraborty, Tulika Bose, Sabitri Chatterjee, Mamata Shankar, Ambarish Bhattacharya, Sneha Bose, Anirban Chakrabarti, Biswanath Basu and Sohini Sengupta, Pradhan sees Dev playing an honest cop who arrives in a North Bengal village that is plagued by various issues and takes charge of the law-and-order situation. Directed by Avijit Sen, the film juxtaposes socially relevant issues with the heart-touching stories of its primary characters.

“It’s a great feeling, people have loved the film, and we are looking forward to crossing the 100-day mark. The audiences have supported us from our first film and that has given us the courage to dream big and deliver such heartfelt stories. We are always on the lookout to tell meaningful, relevant stories.... we want people to relate with every character, it’s teamwork,” said Avijit.

“It’s a great moment for us... with each film and its success, our responsibility is growing. We make films with a lot of honesty. When a film runs for 50 to 100 days and more, and audiences fill the theatres in large numbers, it gives hope to many in the industry... more films get made,” said producer Atanu Raychaudhuri.

“Pradhan is all about ‘entertainment’, ‘entertainment’, and ‘entertainment’. I had a great time during the shoot... and yes it was both risky and adventurous when Soham and I rode the bike in the mountains. There was a huge cast and we had so much fun after our pack-up. We enjoyed ourselves, sang together and made many memories. Pradhan is a film that connects many emotions and thoughts of a lot of people in its plot,” said Dev.

Actor Anirban Chakrabarti found his character (Jatileshwar Mukherjee) to be quite ‘joteel’ (complicated). “He’s someone who leaves a good first impression because he puts a façade of being well-mannered and calm, has a smiling face all the time and speaks to people sweetly. So unless you have a clash with him, you’ll never be able to recognise how he is actually. When you have a clash with him or there’s some disagreement, that’s when you’ll realise how crude he can get,” smiled Anirban.
