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.

SVF unveils the much-awaited official trailer of Karnasubarner Guptodhon

Kolkata, Monday, 12th September 2022 – The much-awaited historical adventure, Karnasubarner Guptodhon, already etched its name in the books of history by launching its motion poster online few days back, dropped its trailer yesterday officially at City Centre 1, Salt Lake, with a hint at a brilliant start to the grand celebration of Durga Pujo for all Bengali cinema lovers.

Present for the launch were lead cast – Abir Chatterjee, Arjun Chakrabarty, Ishaa Saha, Saurav Das and director Dhrubo Banerjee along with Music Director Bickram Gosh and others. The journey to embark on discovering the Bengal’s lost treasure has gone a step ahead with the trailer launch of SVF’s next release.

The trailer follows with a car falling off a cliff, unknown if that very car had the trio enjoying their vacation or not, which afterwards turns into a dangerous quest for the greatest treasure of Bengal. As Sona Da will try to unlock every clue, his wit and mind will constantly get challenged, while his loved ones will be put on parole and his entire adventure will be under a web of threats until Sona Da unearths one of the greatest treasures that Bengal has ever known, the phenomenal treasure of the very genesis of Bengal, the treasure of King Shashank of the kingdom of Gour.

Talking about the film, director Dhrubo Banerjee comments, “Directing Karnasubarner Guptodhon felt like a re-union with my old teammates with whom I had started the journey of making films. With the third film of the Guptodhon franchise, I really hope the audience to shower their love and appreciation again! There will be a combination of action and grey matter, along with nuances of Bengali culture.”

Abir Chatterjee who is essaying the role of Sona Da with poise and handsomeness, mentioned, “The interesting point is that Sona Da is an original creation, not from existing literature. Every Bengali household has a Sona Da, a character which is relatable. The film experiments and showcases what every Bengali loves – mystery and adventure coupled with a treasure hunt that takes one through the beautiful journey of Bengal’s past.”

Audience favourite, Abirlal and Jhinuk aka our very own Arjun Chakrabarty and Ishaa Saha, said, “Very less films are made for kids and we really feel privilege on doing something for them. Karnasubarner Guptodhon is a gift to kids on Pujo and we really hope they enjoy it. The background of this spectacular story will continue to touch the memories of hidden treasure in Bengali history. Promising this to be nail – biting journey and all the unsolved questions will be answered.”

Guptodhon series gave birth to complete new characters; not on the pages of novels but on the silver screen. The hidden treasure of Bengal is not just below the soil but present in the culture, literature, music, folk art, paintings and diverse stories.

Written and directed by Dhrubo Banerjee, Karnasubarner Guptodhon is scheduled to release 30th September 2022 during the period of Durga Puja.
