Feluda Pherot

Mukherji's playwright days

In April 2008, during his playwright times, Mukherji formed his own troupe, Pandora's Act, whose first production, Feluda Pherot! at Rangashankara in July 2008 was a runaway success. It was the first ever non-canonical dramatisation of Satyajit Ray's sleuth Feluda. Barun Chanda, Ray's leading man in Seemabodhho, and Parambrata Chatterjee, the screen Topshe and film youth icon, starred in this production. [3] Chanda was later cast in a supporting role in the 1st season of Feludar Goyendagiri.

Addatimes series

In 2020, during the trailer launch event of the web series Feluda Pherot, Rajiv Mehra, the founder of Addatimes, said that, after bringing Parambrata Chatterjee's modern day adaptation of Feluda from Bioscope to Addatimes, he was skeptical about people's acceptance of the new avatar. While discussing the project of doing a new Feluda series, Srijit Mukherji showed his interest in directing it. [4] [5]

The first season, based on the story Chinnamastar Abhishap, was released on Christmas 2020. [6] [7] The trailer of the second season, Jawto Kando Kathmandute, was released simultaneously with the first season trailer and was also announced to arrive on Christmas 2020 but was later postponed to Christmas 2021 and then, was postponed indefinitely. [8]

Marketing and Release

The series was announced as part of Hoichoi's new content catalogue on 15 April 2022, on the occasion of Bengali New Year. [10] A promo was launched on 1 May 2022, coinciding with Satyajit Ray's birthday. [11] [12] [13]

Rajat Bose, Majumdar's secretary, was none other than Romen Brahmo, the son of a man who was accidentally killed by Majumdar in the past and later covered up the news. The treacherous Bengal Bank worker, V. Balaporia, was none other than the actor Rajen, who killed Majumdar so as to stop his dark past from getting unveiled. The Krishna statue was stolen by Samiran, who did so as to recover his losses from the stock market. At the end, Ghoshal announces Rajen's elimination from the film and also that he would be directing four new films next year. Feluda jokingly calls him "ABCD- Asia's Busiest Cinema Director".
