The trailer offers an enigmatic glimpse into the human heart and society, promising a captivating cinematic experience. "Athhoi" captures the essence of Shakespeare's exploration of human emotions, portraying love, deception, and rivalry in a contemporary setting. It begins with a powerful depiction of the human existential crisis, examining the dichotomy of good and bad, and how society provokes these internal conflicts. The trailer sparks conversations about love, jealousy, and ambition in today's world, delivering a profound message on the concept of truth and challenging our conventional understanding. The film features a stellar cast including Arna Mukhopadhyay, Anirban Bhattacharya, Sohini Sarkar, Ditipriya Roy, Mimi Dutta, Arpan Ghoshal, Kaushik Banerjee, and other important cast – crew members. Arna Mukhopadhyay, the Director and the Actor breathing life into Dr. Athhoi Lodha (Othello), shared his thoughts, "'Athhoi' is a labour of love that has taken years to bring to fruition. With this trailer, our aim is to delve deep into the complexities of human emotions and present a modern interpretation of Shakespeare's timeless tale. Through this film, we hope to evoke profound emotions and reflections." Anirban Bhattacharya, who plays Gogo (echoing Iago from Shakespeare's original work) and serves as the Creative Director, expressed his sentiments, "We were clear from the beginning on how to create this Shakespearean world. Every shot division was meticulously planned, and our team worked tirelessly from pre-production to post-production. As the release date approaches, there is a mix of excitement and nervousness. We hope for the best." Sohini Sarkar, who brings to life the spirited and intelligent character of Diya, reminiscent of Desdemona, remarked, "Playing Diya was a transformative experience. This role allowed me to explore the depths of human resilience and vulnerability. 'Athhoi' invites audiences to question and feel, making it a truly immersive journey." Set for release on June 14th, "Athhoi" is poised to be a cinematic milestone, eagerly awaited by audiences worldwide. Through its innovative interpretation, the film promises to offer a thought-provoking exploration of jealousy, ambition, and love today.

    ‘Dwitiyo Purush’ is not for the faint-hearted, soft spoken or mild minded!


    Dec 15, 2019

    Trailer of Dwitiyo Purush, SVF’s first film release of 2020, revealed

    Kolkata, 15th December 2019 – The trailer of SVF and Srijit Mukherji’s much awaited thriller, Dwitiyo Purush , released today amidst major audience anticipation , with a hint at a brilliant start to the year 2020 for all Bengali cinema lovers.

    9 years ago, SVF and director Srijit Mukherji created a masterpiece called Baishey Srabon that became a sensation among the genre of thrillers. Now a nearly a decade later, the makers are back with its spin-off Dwitiyo Purush that promises to traverse more dangerous territories.

    The story of Dwitiyo Purush will commence from where Baishey Srabon had left off and will see actor Parambrata Chattopadhyay reprise the role of chief detective Abhijit Pakarashi and Raima Sen will bring back her character Amrita, Abhijit’s love interest. Also, returning to the role of Surya will be Bengali actor Abir Chatterjee who has a special appearance in the film.

    A lot of new and powerful faces surface in the trailer of the film. Popular Bengali actor Anirban Bhattacharya surprises everyone with the dangerous look of a character named Khoka, who is synonymous with violence. So is the character essayed by rising star Rwitobroto Mukherjee. He sheds his boy-next-door avatar to look intimidating and fearsome. Also seen in the trailer are actors Babul Supriyo and Kamaleswar Mukherjee

    The trailer starts with a voiceover from veteran superstar Prosenjit Chatterjee, (who had essayed the iconic character of Prabir Roychowdhury in Baishey Srabon), bidding adieu to everyone, thus signifying the beginning of a new chapter. The story moves to a situation in Kolkata where a series of serial killings plague the city again after 25 years of its first occurrence and Abhijit Pakrashi (Parambrata) is given the task of unearthing the killer. Thus, ensues an unpredictable journey to find the murderer. The trailer ends with the message that this film is” not for the faint-hearted…not for the soft spoken…. not for the mild minded” Interestingly, to carry the legacy of Baishey Srabon forward, the trailer of Dwitiyo Purush was inaugurated online by Prabir Roychowdhury aka Prosenjit Chatterjee. 

    Optimistic about the much-awaited spin-off, Mahendra Soni, Co-founder & Director, SVF said, “Dwitiyo Purush will be our first release of 2020 and what a brilliant story to start the year with. The trailer has been so well received that I can already imagine the audience’s excitement to watch the film on the big screen. Knowing Srijit, this audience should expect the unexpected! “

    Talking about his new venture, National Award-winning director Srijit Mukherji said, “Directing Dwitiyo Purush felt like a re-union with my old teammates (Param, Raima, Abir, Anupam Roy) with whom I had started the journey of making thrillers with Baishey Srabon. I want to especially thank Bumba Da (Prosenjit Chatterjee) for launching my trailer online with whom Baishey Srabon had ended and with whom Dwitiyo Purush gets a welcome, making it a full circle.But I promise you, this story will be darker and gripping than its predecessor!”

    Dwitiyo Purush, directed by Srijit Mukherji, is slated to release on 23rd January 2020 as the first official release of SVF for 2020. The music of the film has been rendered by National Award-Winning Musician Anupam Roy.
