Srijit Mukherji’s Ek Je Chhilo Raja takes us back to that time when an extended court case in search of truth left the whole nation in awe. The power-packed teaser which released on Sunday evening got a lot of applause from the audience. The teaser starts with a simple yet consequential statement: “Laws dictate judgements. But some judgements become the law” referring to one the most cited cases in the legislative world – The Bhawal Sanyasi Court Case from which the film is inspired. The teaser goes on to reveal in bits and pieces the silhouette of a Sanyasi whose entire body is pockmarked with scars and besmeared with ashes. In the background are heard the voices of a legal advisor demanding to know the identity of another man who claims himself to be “Maharaja Mahendra Kumar Chowdhury”,thus giving us a sneak-peak into the most intriguing royal courtroom battle in history – Ek Je Chhilo Raja (The Imposter Prince). “The Bhawal Sanyasi court case is the most referred case in history and has always attracted several literary and creative people. Ek Je Chhilo Raja is my tribute to that great king who rose from the ashes to win back his kingdom and kinsmen and my film will narrate the true events that happened in between his life and death,” said the director.
