Bollywood's enchanting songstress is set to grace the Bengali silver screen. Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, known not just for her acting prowess but also for her captivating voice, has caught the eye of none other than Bollywood's King Khan, Shah Rukh Khan himself. But who is she, you might wonder? Last year, she mesmerised audiences with her performance in "Jawaan," earning accolades for her portrayal of 'Helena'. Now, it's evident who she is—none other than the talented actress Sanjeeta Bhattacharya.
While Bollywood has been her playground, it's time for her to captivate the hearts of Bengali cinema aficionados. Rumour has it that she's set to make her mark in Bengali films. And the anticipation is reaching its peak.
Reports suggest that director Shrimanta Sengupta, known for his work in "Abar Bosor Kuri Pore," has cast Sanjeeta in his upcoming venture. The movie is said to revolve around food, culture, and the discovery of Kolkata's essence—a tale woven with culinary delights and the exploration of the city's soul. Alongside Sanjeeta, the film will feature veteran actors Chiranjeet Chakraborty and Sourav Das. The music is directed by Ranjoy Bhattacharya, and the film will be produced by Soumya Sarkar.
Just listening to the story of the film, you will understand that it is very much like this. A girl will be the first to come to town from abroad. Then you will know, see, and know the city of Kolkata with your own eyes. Then an old professor and a young man will talk in the city. The girl's trip to Kolkata with them.
Sanjeeta's journey to Kolkata's vibrant film industry is more than just a professional endeavor. Born in the capital city of Delhi, her roots have always been intertwined with Bengali art and culture, fueled further by her father, the renowned artist Sanjay Bhattacharya. With a lineage so deeply rooted in the arts, it's no surprise that Sanjeeta harboured dreams of gracing Bengali cinema.
Before "Jawaan," Sanjeeta showcased her talent in Bollywood with roles in "The Broken News" and "Feels Like Ishq." And alongside her Bengali film debut, she's also set to reunite with Nawazuddin Siddiqui for "Adbhut" and the upcoming season 2 of "The Broken News."
As the cameras start rolling today, February 15th, across Kolkata and its surroundings, it marks the beginning of a new chapter for Sanjeeta Bhattacharya. With her talent, charm, and dedication, she's poised to carve a niche for herself in the rich tapestry of Bengali cinema, fulfilling a dream she's nurtured since childhood.
