Oct 21, 202021st October 2020, Kolkata: To pay tribute to the renowned filmmaker Satyajit Ray’s extraordinary directorial journey on the occasion of his 100th birth anniversary, SVF came forward with a big announcement today!
Featuring two of Ray’s greatest creations – Feluda and Professor Shanku, the untitled film will be directed by none other than Sandip Ray himself, to celebrate the glory of Ray’s phenomenal contributions and achievements. This is the first time Feluda and Shanku, the two most iconic characters of Bengali literature, will be used to feature in one film in different stories of their own.
In the process of selecting the best stories of Feluda and Shanku, Sandip Ray recalls the vision his father had behind creating the classic characters of Feluda, Topshe, Lal Mohan Ganguli and Shanku. All of these characters have quintessentially been a part of every Bengali’s nostalgia since the beginning of time. The first look of the poster gives a clear idea about the action and fine elements that will be infused in the film. Feluda’s action combined with Shanku’s inventions and their adventures wrapped in a single film will undoubtedly be slated as a remarkable gift to all the Bengalis.
Sandip Ray, while talking about his vision and desires related to the film, said, “I want to select two of the best stories of Feluda and Shanku for this film to show the grandeur of the characters. Till date I have made Feluda and Shanku as different contents. But bringing them together in one film is challenging and exciting at the same time. I hope this film will remain memorable for a long time among the audience.”
Excited to present something new to the audience on Satyajit Ray’s birth anniversary, Mahendra Soni, Co-Founder & Director of SVF said, “Getting to see Feluda and Professor Shanku on screen in the same film is a big thing for the Bengali audience. I have immense faith in the filmmaking of Sandip Ray and believe he can create wonders with his father’s work. It’s a pleasure and honor to work on Satyajit Ray’s creation and characters and getting to present a bit more of him to the audience on his 100th birth anniversary. I hope this film will make the next year much more special to the Bengali audience and all Ray lovers. “
The film, slated to release in May 2021, will hit the right chords of nostalgia amongst the audience of Bengal as the best stories of Feluda and Shanku awaits them.
