Teaser of Srijit Mukherji’s Ek Je Chhilo Raja Released
The power-packed 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).
Ek Je Chhilo Raja is the story of Mahendra Kumar Choudhuri, the middle prince of the Bhawal Estate (also named as Bikrampur Estate) , who was affected by syphilis and was taken to Darjeeling for treatment along with his wife, Chandrabati Devi , brother in law, Satya and a family doctor, Ashwini. He apparently died in Darjeeling and was cremated there as well.
After 12 years, a Sanyasi comes back to the estate where people start noticing him and a rumour spreads that he is the lost prince of Bikrampur estate.
The film directed by Srijit Mukherji featuring Jisshu U Sengupta, Jaya Ahsan, Anjan Dutt, Aparna Sen, Anirban Bhattacharya, Rudranil Ghosh, Barun Chanda and Rajnandini Paul among others.
The film is scheduled to release on 12th October 2018.
