SLIDE SHOW

1 of 7

A COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION

It's a wrap for Detective Byomkesh Bakshi! Directed by Dibakar Banerjee, the movie stars the handsome Sushant Singh Rajput as the famous detective from Bengal.

On the last day of the shoot, Sushant Singh Rajput was spotted in a completely deglam look. A muffler-clad Sushant dressed in loose shirt and pleated pants was almost unrecognizable. For the movie, Sushant has mostly donned dhotis and crisp kurtas as the plot is set in the 40s. A mouche and oiled hair are also part of his look.

Sushant Singh Rajput unrecognizable as Detective Byomkesh Bakshi'

Dibakar Banerjee is mighty impressed with Sushant, whom he signed for the film because, "He (Sushant) is very natural, subtle and credit goes to him for efficiently portraying Manav (in Pavitra Rishta'). The second reason is he is modern and I wanted a young, vulnerable actor."

Detective Byomkesh Bakshi' is produced by Yash Raj Films and is slated to hit theatres in December 2014. It is based on one of the 33 crime thrillers penned between 1932 and 1970 by the famed Bengali writer Sharadindu Bandopadhyay, who was deeply influenced by Sherlock Holmes' of Arthur Conan Doyle.

However, the audiences know about the detective Byomkesh Bakshi because of the popular TV serial aired on Doordarshan in the year 1993. The critically-acclaimed serial was directed by Basu Chatterjee.

Sushant Singh Rajput's look may not come close to that of Rajit Kapur from the popular serial, but we are sure he can convincingly carry off the complex character with utter ease on big screen.

Catch a few stills from the sets of the movie Detective Byomkesh Bakshi:

Dibakar was all praises for the young actor on the last day of their film's shoot

Sushant Singh Rajput who is playing the lead in Dibakar Banerjee's Detective Byomkesh Bakshi seems to have impressed his director and how? On the last day ofDetective Byomkesh Bakshi's shoot, Dibakar who is known for not repeating actors in his films told the reporters, "Sushant is a very matured and a talented actor. For this character I need someone who is young but a matured and an expert actor. Sushant has these qualities and hence he fit the role perfectly."

The Shanghai director further added, "Byomkesh's character in my film is very young and inexperienced, similarly, Sushant is also very young but very intelligent. These similarities between the character and the actor worked big time for me."

With so many praises hurling his way we wonder if the Kai Po Che actor has now become the new poster boy for Dibakar. Sushant who has already signed big films like Aamir Khans P.K. with Rajkumar Hirani and Shekhar Kapur's Paani with Emma Watson and John Trovoltais already on a high and with so many praises from an acclaimed director is just another feather on Sushant's cap. Bollywoodlifers, don't be surprised if you soon hear an announcement of another film where Dibakar will be seen calling the shots for this Shuddh Desi Romance actor.

Sushant Singh Rajput's new Bengali girl!

Tuesday, 13 May 2014 - 6:25am IST | Place: Mumbai | Agency: DNA

Sushant Singh Rajput' leading lady in Detective Byomkesh is being kept under wraps. That's the way Yashraj Films likes to keep their projects. However, one learns from a source working on the film that he is paired with Swastika Mukherjee in this period film.

Swastika is best known to create quite a hungama in the Kolkata media -- both through her bold role (in a Bangla film titled Take One about an MMS scandal) and her bindaas statements. The never-say-no actress had many steamy scenes with her co-star.

Apparently, director Dibakar Banerjee and Yashraj Films want to keep Swastika's no-holds-barred image in check. Says the source, "Out there in Bengal, Swastika has a very bold image. In Dibakar's film, Swastika plays a traditional Bengali housewife." The effort, we hear, is to repackage Swastika's image for her Hindi debut as "more of Sharmila and less of Bipasha." Sushant is living in with his girlfriend Ankita Lokhande, with whom he is rumoured to be married, and with his film he gets an on-screen wife as well.

The Love Sex aur Dhokha director has collaborated with YRF for the Sushant Singh Rajput starrer

In the past, Dibakar Banerjee who has made National award winning films like Khosla Ka Ghoslaand Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! has mostly worked with small producers and on a very tight budget.Detective Byomkesh Bakshi is a collaboration of Yash Raj Films and Dibakar BanerjeeProductions and is made on an illustrious budget.

In a conversation with Bollywoodlife on the sets of Detective Byomkesh Bakshi, Dibakar confirmed the news saying, "Yes, this is my most expensive film. However, if we compare with other big films that are made with special effects and huge sets, my film is much less expensive than that." The Shanghai director further added, "Since I am quite disciplined and planned I always make sure that things go according to the schedule and there are no hiccups in the path." We don't doubt your ability there Mr Banerjee, considering the budget of your previous films, this is nothing less than a luxury for you. Right peeps?

Parts from Mukesh Chhabra's interview where Sushant is mentioned 😊

So you've spent all these years casting for films. Haven't you ever wanted to act yourself?

Oh no, not at all. I got a diploma in acting only because at the time, you needed one to be a casting director, but I have no such aspirations. I just want to be the bridge between directors and talented actors...

That sounds almost saintly. A bit like Mother Teresa.
(Laughs) I'm no Mother Teresa. Look, I'm just doing my job. People might identify me as the man who discovered Sushant Singh Rajput but I was doing it because I got paid for it. I don't have any saintly ambitions.
Of all the people you've casted, who are you most (i think the word "proud" or something along those lines may have been left out here 😊) of?
I'd say Sushant Singh Rajoput, Rajkummar Rao and Tigmanshu Dhulia in that order. Of the women, I'd say Shriswara.
