Kolkata, 16^th May 2018 – SVF and director Arindam Sil’s, Puja release, Byomkesh Gowtro cast has been finalised and the shoot is all set to begin from 6^th June onwards.

Abir Chatterjee is back donning the hat of Satyanweshi Byomkesh Bakshi after a two year hiatus and so is Sohini Sarkar who returns as the quintessential Satyabati, the better half of the sleuth.

However, Arindam Sil’s Byomkesh Gowtro greets us with a bagful of surprises. Byomkesh’s constant companion in resolving any crime has always been Ajit and this time the character of the famous writer and partner to Satyanweshi will be enacted by none other than actor Rahul Banerjee.

Byomkesh Gotro which is inspired from Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay’s ‘Rakter Daag’ has Satyakam as an integral character in the film and would be played by the talented Arjun Chakraborty. Arjun will be seen in a challenging role as a wealthy Casanova for the first time.

The surprise in the casting does not end here. The icing on the cake comes with the presence of thespian director – actor Anjan Dutt who had previously directed films on the Satyanweshi. Anjan Dutt for the first time joins hands with director Arindam Sil to play the character of Ushapoti Das, Satyakam’s father, in the film.

He wants Byomkesh to investigate the matter. The advance that he gives is too magnamous to be ignored. Byomkesh reaches Landour to find Satyakam, the young man has already been murdered. Now, Byomkesh Bakshi has to solve the crime.
