In a noteworthy shift from his previous roles, actor Samrat Mukherji is set to grace the small screen once again after a two-year hiatus, this time in the leading role of the upcoming Bengali serial 'AkashKusum'.
Having captivated audiences from 2020 to 2022 with his compelling portrayal of 'Syami' in Star Jalsha's 'Gangaram', Samrat bids farewell to the antagonist's character and embraces a new challenge in the entertainment industry. This time, he steps into the shoes of the protagonist in Sun Bangla's latest venture, directed by Soumen Haldar, the creative mind behind 'Gaatchara', and produced by Acropolis Entertainment.
The serial, promising a fresh narrative, will not only feature Samrat but also showcase the talents of other acclaimed actors such as Mallika Majumdar, Shubhrajit Dutta, Sohini Sanyal, and Minakshi.
On the other hand, Katha Chakraborty will be the actress for this serial. Earlier, she was playing the role of Ganga in the 'Gaatchara' serial.
The inaugural shoot commenced at New Town's Nature Park, revealing glimpses of Samrat alongside a mother-daughter duo engrossed in a vibrant market scene.
News has it that Arohi Biswas, having gained popularity through her role in 'Tumi Je Amar Ma' on Colors Bangla, will play the childhood role of Katha in this series.
Director Soumen, while expressing initial dissatisfaction with the storyline, hinted at a compelling family drama that unfolds after a son's tragic demise, leading to unforeseen consequences for the household caretaker.
The anticipation for 'AkashKusum' builds as viewers eagerly await the broadcast schedule, with the production company yet to finalize the airtime.
Actress Katha Chakraborty, expressing her gratitude, thanked the production team for the opportunity, marking this series as a new chapter in her acting journey.
In the wake of the conclusion of 'Gaatchara', Sun Bangla wastes no time in bringing a fresh narrative to its audience, ensuring a seamless transition from one engaging series to another.
As the storyline unfolds, 'AkashKusum' promises to weave a tapestry of familial bonds, tragedy, and the intricacies of life.
