Truth is Stranger than Fiction. History is Stranger than Truth.

First look poster and character looks of “Ek Je Chhilo Raja” unveiled

Kolkata, 31st August 2018 – The official poster of SVF Entertainment and Srijit Mukherji’s much awaited magnum opus Ek Je Chhilo Raja is out and has raised the intrigue quotient among cine-goers.

The poster reveals an old palace room which is in a state of ruins and has an elaborate picture hanging on the wall. The picture is of the Bhawal Raja ( Jisshu U Sengupta) or the Feudal Prince of Bhawal Estate (Bikrampur Estate) who is decked up in his hunting attire, standing on the dead remains of a tiger which seems to be the trophy animal that he has hunted down. Right beneath that ornate picture sits a man who by his unusual apparel and dreadlocks seems to be a Sanyasi (Jisshu U Sengupta). His entire body is smeared with ashes and covered in strange marks. The fascinating part is the uncanny physical similarities between the man in the picture and the Sanyasi sitting underneath it. Thus, begins the curious saga of the Bhawal Raja and Sanyasi that will be depicted in the film Ek Je Chhilo Raja.

Also unveiled are the looks of some of the important members of the prominent cast in the film. Jaya Ahsan , Rajnandini Paul, Sreenanda Shankar, Anirban Bhattacharya and Rudranil Ghosh . The looks of other two important characters- Anjan Dutt & Aparna Sen are yet not revealed and has been kept as a surprise to be used for the promotion of the film in later stage.

Talking about the casting of the film and increasing the suspense even further director Srijit Mukherji goes on to say: “The remarkable tale of the story of the Bhawal Raja that has been told and retold in a lot of fictional works. All the actors in my film Ek Je Chhilo Raja have played their part brilliantly and the surprise element comes in the form of Anjan Dutt & Aparna Sen that will be revealed later”

 Written and directed by Srijit Mukherji, Ek Je Chhilo Raja is scheduled to release 12^th October 2018 during the period of Durga Puja.
