Actor-turned-director Parambrata Chattopadhyay is all set to start shooting his next directorial venture Hawa Bodol 2 in London. Hawa Bodol was Parambrata’s second film as a director after debuting with Jio Kaka.

Released in 2013, Hawa Bodol delved into the lives of two childhood friends, Jeet (played by Parambrata) and Raj (Rudranil Ghosh). Jeet is well-settled with a secure job and married to the beautiful Tanuka (Raima Sen) with whom he has a son, Kabir; Raj is a struggling musician. While Jeet feels stifled by his success, Raj hungers for it, and at some point their lives get switched.

In the sequel, the two friends reunite after a decade. Raima is back as Tanuka, now the mother of a 17-year-old Kabir.

While Parambrata has reached London for the shoot, Rudranil and Raima will join him soon. Hawa Bodol 2 will be produced by Eskay Movies.
