MEET THE BRAND NEW ‘BOUDI’! – Cal Times

Dupur Thakurpo, an adult comedy web series, which had Swastika Mukherjee playing Uma boudi, grabbed eyeballs for obvious reasons. For the much-awaited Season 2, Sreelekha Mitra was supposed to replace Swastika and play Jhuma boudi, after the latter bowed out of the series. And now, there’s a new twist in the afternoon saga.

Monalisa aka Antara Biswas, who has many Bhojpuri films to her credit and was part of Bigg Boss 10, is on board for the part. Dupur Thakurpo’s title track is a remake of a popular Bhojpuri song and Season 2 was expected to star Swastika as a Bhojpuri performer, apart from Uma boudi. With so much Bhojpuri connect, Monalisa could be an obvious choice.

Season II starts with a situation where the parents of all the thakurpos (brothers-in-law) are admitted in a rehab after Jibon Babu complained to them about their sons, who were disturbing his relationship with Uma Boudi. “I am super-excited to play Jhuma boudi. Two-three months back I saw the series that had Swastika in it and my friends said how popular Dupur Thakurpo was. I heard the song too and when I got a call to play this character, I was on cloud nine,” said Monalisa.
