For the first time in Indian Television Industry a TV series
has been made to pay tribute to Mahanayak Uttam Kumar. This will be a 100
episode TV series named #Mahanayak. It has been produced by Shree Venkatesh Films
and will be aired on Bengali entertainment channel, Star Jalsha starting from
this 27th June, every evening at 7PM.
This idea has been conceptualised by director Kamaleshwar
Mukherjee and has been directed by Birsha Dasgupta. As it is not a biopic
rather a fictional story loosely based on the professional and personal life of
Mahanayak Uttam Kumar, so the name of the characters has been changed.
The story is obviously something to watch out for but
another highlight of this series is the star cast. Mahanayak of today’s times
Prasenjit Chatterjee is making his television debut in Fiction series with
playing the title role of a superstar named Arun Kumar. Paoli Dam will be seen
playing the most popular heroine of that time Suchorita which is obviously
based on Suchitra Sen. Also it will feature Tanushree as Priya and Priyanaka as Gayitri which are based
on the characters of Supriya Devi and Savitri Chatterjee respectively. Apart
from these actors there will be Sabyasachi Chakraborty playing a character based on Satyajit Ray , Shantilal Mukherjee playing a character based on Hemanta,
Bishwanath Basu playing a character based on Bhanu.
We all are looking forward to see one Mahanayak playing
another Mahanayak , on our TV screens. Best of luck to the whole team, hope the
series will create history on Television world.
