After a Durga Puja surprise from the makers dropping the official poster, here comes another piece of big news about ‘Professor Shonku O El Dorado’ and it will surely make every die-hard fan of Professor Shonku excited. The official trailer of the long-awaited adventure drama will be dropped on November 07.

Directed by Sandip Ray, the sci-fi-adventure drama is based on Satyajit Ray‘s popular story ‘Nakur Babu O El Dorado’. It will also mark the beginning of a new franchise of Professor Shonku on the silver screen. Bankrolled by SVF, the sci-fi thriller is eyeing for a December release.

The much-anticipated film has made headlines ever since it was announced. While veteran actor Dhritiman Chatterjee will play the titular role of Professor Shonku, Subhashish Mukhopadhyay will be seen as Nokurbabu. In fact you can see a glimpse of Dhritiman as Shonku in the official poster.
Satyajit Ray’s creation Professor Shonku was inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘Professor Challenger’ and ‘Hesoram Husiar’, another unique character made by his father Sukumar Ray. The film’s narrative also has professor Shonku’s companions – his domestic helper Prahlad, his cat Newton and neighbour Abinash Babu.
