Srijit is making a thriller next

He believes in making films with diverse themes. No wonder, Srijit Mukherji’s films have always explored different genres. The year started on a good note for Srijit, as his fatherdaughter relationship saga, Uma, clicked big time at the box office. His Puja release, Ek Je Chhilo Raja, will deal with a completely different subject — the famous Bhawal Sanyasi case of the early 20th century. He has also just wrapped up the shoot of Shah Jahan Regency, which is a modernday adaptation of Shankar’s iconic novel,

Chowringhee

.

Now we hear that he’s all set to direct a thriller, Vinci Da, with Ritwick Chakraborty, Sohini Sarkar, Rudranil Ghosh and Anirban Bhattacharya in pivotal roles. “It’s a thriller with a lot of violence, but I can’t reveal anything more now. This will be my third thriller after Baishe Srabon and

Chotushkone

, as the genre gives me a lot of scope to play with the script and the making. The film will go on the floors after Puja,” Srijit said.

The film will also mark Srijit’s second project with Ritwick. Speaking about the other actors, he added, “Sohini has matured as an actress and had worked with me in

Rajkahini

. As for Rudranil and Anirban, they have become constants in my films.”
