It’s a wrap for Srijit Mukherji’s ‘Gumnaami’

Ever since Srijit Mukherji announced his dream project ‘Gumnaami’, a film based on Gumnami Baba, the thriller has been in the center of controversy. Even Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s grand nephew Chandra Kumar Bose took a dig at the national award winning director in public.

Not only that, director Aniket Chattopadhyay in his series of Facebook posts took a dig at the Gumnaami baba – the godman who has been rumoured to be Netaji.

However, it didn’t dump Srijit’s spirit and he insisted time and again the film will be made despite all the odds and criticisms.

And on Monday, the ‘Vinci Da’ director took to his Twitter handle to share a wrap up picture with the entire team of ‘Gumnaami’.

“Final day of shoot for the epic journey! Was he #Netaji? Was he an imposter? What does the Mukherjee Commission conclude? What does the Allahabad HC say? What is the version of the plane crash theorists? What do the Death in Russia theorists opine? Find out this Puja. #Gumnaami,” Srijit wrote.

The upcoming thriller is set to explore the myth of the mysterious sadhu often addressed as Gumnaami Baba and Prosenjit Chatterjee will be seen in the titular role.

There are so many rumors and conspiracy theories on Netaji’s return to India after his supposed death in Taihoku plane crash. Srijit’s upcoming film’s plot is one of those rumours which apparently set the crux of the film. The film draws inspiration from Anuj Dhar and Chandrachur Ghosh’s book ‘CONUNDRUM, Subhas Bose’s Life After Death’.

Produced by SVF, ‘Gumnaami’ is set to release this Puja.
