Rudranil Ghosh who plays Ajit Bandopadhyay in
Sayantan Ghosal’s ‘
Satyanweshi Byomkesh
’ is delighted to see the audience response his film is getting since its release on October 2. He says the latest Byomkesh adaptation sees the friendship between the iconic sleuth and his friend Ajit from a completely different perspective which makes Byomkesh more humane compared to the other films on the popular literary character.
“Personally I've always wanted to see how his friendship with Ajit makes Byomkesh more humane and how their interactions actually make him much more discerning; I played a crucial role in Anjan Da's first Byomkesh movie, and I noticed this in that film as well. In the last few years, most of the Byomkesh films have given this relationship a 'Bhanu Goenda, Jahar Assistant' dynamic. The space to explore their friendship was missing, we couldn't find the quintessential, intellectually enriching Bengali friendship, which actually made the Byomkesh series so different from other hardened, gritty sleuth novels,” explains Rudranil.
“In fact, during the shoot, Anjan da reminded us that Param and I are old friends, but Byomkesh and Ajit had been friends for even longer. Anjan Da's screenplay captures that relationship and the spirit, it's a powerful, consciously-drafted script,” adds the seasoned actor.
