Team Cabaret recently got together at Chapter 2 to launch the trailer of the series. A period drama set in Calcutta, Cabaret tells a love story of cabaret dancer Miss Elina (played by Puja Banerjee) and a Naxalite militant Swarup (played by Satyam Bhattacharya) set against the backdrop of politics, social hierarchy, class struggle and human relationship.

Cabaret promises to be an emotional journey of a young girl from a remote village to claim the crown of the best cabaret dancer in Calcutta. Directed by Utsav Mukherjee, Cabaret stars Puja Banerjee, Satyam Bhattacharya, and Shantilal Mukherjee in lead roles. The series is set to stream on Addatimes from January 26.

“I always wanted to play a character like Miss Elina. Cabaret has got a very beautiful love story in it. As an actor, you get very little opportunity where the script demands the best of you. Miss Elina has quite a lot of shades. Moreover, my fondness for the retro style gets its canvas here, where I have the opportunity to craft it. Working alongside Shantilal Mukherjee, a seasoned actor in the industry, is a valuable experience, and when it comes to Utsavda and the team, it truly stands out as the best collaboration,” says Puja.

“Miss Elina comes to terms with different people and situations that not only shape her life but also determine the courses of others around her. It’s a story of love, passion, family, emotion, politics, revenge and most importantly, of different human conditions,” says director Utsav Mukherjee.
