Once upon a time, Bollywood actors played the dual roles of father and son. That scene lingered in the audience's memory, but times have changed, and cinema now reflects more realistic scenes. However, 2023's 'Jawaan' broke the mould with Shah Rukh Khan portraying both father and son, turning the movie into a blockbuster.
Now, Tolly Industry echoes with rumours of Bengal's superstar, Dev, taking cues from Shah Rukh Khan's playbook. On New Year's Day, Dev announced his new film 'Khadan,' set against the backdrop of the coal mining region. The intriguing revelation suggests Dev will tackle dual characters, a departure from his usual roles. Is he ready to mirror the father-son dynamics of Shah Rukh Khan?
As of now, Dev's production company or other backers haven't made any official statements regarding the film. This adds an air of mystery to the project.
Dev, known for never venturing into dual roles before, seems poised to captivate audiences in a whole new light. The anticipation builds for the audience to witness this transformation.
It was already revealed that actress Idhika Pal would play a character opposite Dev, marking a departure from the typical heroine role. The film is already in the early stages of production.
Rumours are also circulating that actors Jisshu Sengupta and Bony Sengupta might join the cast. Sources hint at preliminary discussions with the producers, awaiting official confirmation.
At present, Srijit Mukherjee has initiated the shooting for 'Tekka' with superstar Dev. The movie features an ensemble cast, including Rukmini Maitra, Swastika Mukherjee, Paran Bandopadhyay, and Tota Roychowdhury.
Adding to the excitement, 'Khadan' is set to begin filming in March-April, helmed by director Sujit Dutta. The stage is set for a captivating cinematic journey, promising a narrative that goes beyond the ordinary.
