The 2 minute 45 minute long trailer features the Padma Bhushan awardee Mithun Chakraborty as Pariman Sanyal, an ordinary man who suddenly gets extraordinary power to see the future. Debasree Roy, another veteran Tollywood actress who plays his wife, is also seen in the trailer. The duo has paired up for the first time in almost 16 years. Mithun and Debasree, known for their on-screen chemistry, have starred 15 films, many of which were major blockbusters. Their on-screen chemistry became a hit with 1982’s ‘Troyee’. Ever since, the duo was a popular on-screen pair in the ’80s and ’90s. In 2010, they were seen in the film Shukno Lonka. However, they were not the cast opposite each other.
The ‘Disco Dancer’ actor Mithun Chakraborty debuted in ‘Mrigaya’ in 1976. The veteran Bengali actor has acted in over 350 films including in Hindi language and gifted audiences blockbusters such as ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ and ‘Teesra Kaun’. Debasree, on the other hand, is known for her works in films like ‘Bhalobasa Bhalobasa’ (1985), ‘Lalmahal’ (1986), ‘Chokher Aloy’ (1989), ‘Jhankar’ (1989), ‘Ahankar’ (1991), ‘Unishe April’ (1994), ‘Yuddha’ (2005).
Director Pathikrit Basu, who has helmed films like ‘Kacher Manush’, ‘Dadur Kirti’, and very recent ‘Dabaru’, has described the film as an exploration of family, fate, and life itself.
