Srijit, whose Gumnaami on the disappearance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose released this Puja, was supposed to shoot Kakababu last year. But the film was pushed back and the director started work on Gumnaami. Srijit, who completed the shoot of Dwitiyo Purush recently, will begin the film soon. A large part of Kakababur Protyaborton will be shot in Kenya and will see Prosenjit Chatterjee in the title role and Aryann Bhowmik as Santu. Prosenjit played the lead in Gumnaami as well. Durgo Rahasya, on the other hand, stars Parambrata Chatterjee as Byomkesh and Rudranil Ghosh as his writer friend, Ajit.
