Uttam Kumar to feature in Srijit's next

Believe it or not, Uttam Kumar is all set to make his presence felt in a large portion of Srijit Mukherji’s next, Oti Uttam. He will be seen as one of the lead characters along with Anindya Sengupta and Gourab Chatterjee. In a VFX marvel, the director aims at recreating Uttam Kumar’s character, dialogue and presence as real as possible.
Elaborating the process, Srijit said, “I went through 54 films by the legend to recreate the character.I had to back calculate everything while penning the script and screenplay. I think it is happening for the first time in cinema.”
Oti Uttam is a romantic comedy. It talks about a PhD scholar, played by Anindya Sengupta, who is pursuing his research on Uttam Kumar. He likes a girl but gets rejected. He decides to bring Uttam Kumar’s spirit with the help of Gourab Chatterjee, the legend’s grandson in this film, and in real life. “Uttam’s spirit comes and helps the scholar get his girl,” explained Srijit. While Roshni Bhattacharya will debut on the big screen with this film, Laboni Sarkar and Shubhashish Mukherjee will also be seen in pivotal characters. The music of the film is composed by another debutant Saptak Sanai Das, a young musician.
