Mahalaya

Mahalaya is an interesting film based on the incident of the well-known incident regarding the Mahishasur Mardini radio program which gets telecast every year on Mahalaya. Created by Birendrakrishna Bhadra and Panka Mallick, the radio program has become an inseparable part of Bengali's Durga Puja and culture. The movie will revolve around the incident of 1976 when the directors of Akashbani replaced the very program with a new one. The team replaced Bhadra with Mahanayak Uttam Kumar. But, Bengal's matinee idol too failed to leave any impression and Akashbani had to bring the old team back the very next day! Jisshu Sengupta has been roped in to play Uttam Kumar in this drama directed by Gulab Gang director Soumik Sen. Prosenjit will play a pivotal role in the same.
