Effusively complimenting actor Sushant Singh Rajput, critically acclaimed filmamker Dibakar Banerjee Tuesday backed his decision to cast him in the role of detective Byomkesh Bakshi.
"Among the new generation of actors, Sushant is promising. He never shows off his acting. It is very subtle and inherent. He is a very good actor," said the National Award-winning director during an interaction with media persons here.
The director is busy scouting for locations in the city for his forthcoming film "Detective Byomkesh Bakshi" that is slated to go on the floors in December.
The film is based on one of the 33 crime thrillers penned by famed Bengali writer Sharadindu Bandopadhyay with ByomkeshBakshi as the protagonist between 1932 and 1970.
Featuring Sushant as the popular detective, the movie will be set in then Calcutta during the World War years in 1942.
Sushant, who made a stellar debut with "Kai Po Che!",will be seen as "an adventurous, young, fresh out of college and thriller-loving youth who wants to be a detective".
The actor had a successful stint with TV serials as the male lead Manav in "Pavitra Rishta".
"He is very natural, subtle and credit goes to him for efficiently portraying Manav.The second reason is he is modern andI wanted a young, vulnerable actor," said Banerjee.
"Sushant is the earlier Byomkesh (of 1930s). The Byomkesh that Bandyopadhayay wrote when he was young and adventurous. That is the new aspect that you will get," he added.
Here is Sushant Singh Rajput's first look in the film 'Detective Byomkesh Bakshi'. Director Dibakar Banerji and Sushant are were earlier spotted at the Bodhman Palace in Kolkata for the press conference for the movie.
Dibakar Banerjee is joining hands with the production banner Yash Raj Films (YRF) for the first time to helm this film featuring Sushant Singh Rajput as the popular detective.
"We're rebooting Byomkesh. Right back to his first ever case," Dibakar, who is also co-producing the project, had said in a statement.
The movie will be set in contemporary interpretation of war torn Calcutta, now known as Kolkata, during the 1940s. It will follow the first adventure of Byomkesh, fresh out of college, as he pits himself against an evil genius who is out to destroy the world.
its good to see him getting strong in bollywood
wish him best of luck
It's challenging to make a heartthrob like him into a convincing period character. ' Dibakar Banerjee, filmmaker
Dibakar Banerjee, who is busy working on his film, Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! (DBB), talks about his most ambitious project. As a kid, I used to feel a strange thrill when I read Byomkesh Bakshi stories. I wanted to make it since I was 14 and now, after having made other films, I wanted that thrill back. I want to hook the audiences with a rich, layered detective story. After Khosla Ka Ghosla (2006), I wanted to make DBB but the producers didn't trust me with such a big project. Now, after five movies, I'm ready for this experience, which will also be my most expensive film. It's a film set in 1942 and will need VFX (visual effects) too. Sushant is a noteworthy actor who left his TV serial at its peak and entered the uncharted territory of films and became successful. That is commendable. He's intense, methodical, talented and hard-working. It's challenging to make a a heartthrob like him into a convincing period character. Sushant and I have been walking the streets of Kolkata. We went to Chinatown, and spent time with Bengali families, eating with them and getting to know how they live and behave. We also watched Bengali films. This will help him understand the vibe of the city. He'll be better able to play the role of a young Byomkesh of 1942.
Atram ride through Dharmatala, a visit to a 150-year-old bungalow in Alipore, eating Bengali sweets like sondesh and rasgulla: producer-director Dibakar Banerjee ensured the announcement of his period film, Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! (DBB), in Kolkata on Tuesday (July 23) gave the media a flavour of Bengal.
And accompanying us was Sushant Singh Rajput who, dressed as a bhadralok (educated Bengali), looked nothing like his usual self. We ate Bengali dishes, and rode the yellow taxis that dot the city. The announcement of DBB in the old bungalow ' amid chandeliers, antique fans, high ceilings and period furniture ' set the tone for the press conference. There was even a blackboard with the film's name in Hindi, English and Bengali. And as soon as Dibakar walked in, he corrected the spellings in all three languages.
Sushant said, "I've been observing Bengali culture and people during my stay. I've been eating specific local dishes to understand Bengalis better, so that when I start shooting, I hope I'm able to convincingly portray a young Bengali man from 1942."
He finds the City of Joy different from Mumbai. About the characteristics of a detective, he said, "He should be observant and intelligent, and not much of a talker."
Dibakar, who has bought the rights of all stories of DBB, feels the rich heritage of Bengali culture hasn't been explored (in Bollywood films). "My film will be about Byomkesh trying to understand his calling and is about a young 20-22-year-old on his way to become a detective."
