The last time we saw her in a Bengali film on the big screen was Rituparno Ghosh’s Shubho Mahurat in 2003, and Rakhee Gulzar has left us wanting more ever since. The veteran actress, who lives in Mumbai, is currently in Kolkata to shoot for Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee’s film, Aamar Boss.
Slated for a theatrical release this summer, Aamar Boss also stars Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Srabanti Chatterjee. Windows Production, the film’s producer, has promised “more surprises” in its Instagram post, sharing a picture of the clapboard of the inaugural shot with verses by Rabindranath Tagore written on it.
Rakhee arrived in Kolkata on Thursday and was received at the airport by Shiboprosad and Nandita. The official handle of Windows Production shared a video on Instagram along with the caption ‘And the journey begins…’.
Rakhee’s last work in Bengali cinema was Nirban, directed by the late Goutam Halder, in 2019. The film, though showcased in festivals, hasn’t had a theatrical release yet.
Aamar Boss marks Srabanti’s first collaboration with the director duo of Nandita and Shiboprosad. She is currently shooting for Subhrajit Mitra’s Debi Choudhurani.
Meanwhile, Shiboprosad and Nandita are picking up accolades for their 2023 Durga Puja film, Raktabeej. Starring Victor Banerjee, Abir Chatterjee and Mimi Chakraborty in key roles, the crime thriller recently completed 75 days of theatrical run.
