Kolkata actor-director Parambrata Chattopadhyay is set to direct a new supernatural thriller web series titled ‘Bhog’, featuring Anirban Bhattacharya, a renowned actor of Kolkata in the lead role. This will be the first time Parambrata directs Anirban, even though the two have worked together in the past.
‘Bhog’, which will stream on Hoichoi, follows the story of a lonely man whose life changes after he discovers a mysterious brass idol in a curiosity shop. The idol begins to alter his life in strange and unexpected ways, leading to an eerie mystery, reports The Daily Star.
The series is based on a story by Abhik Sarkar and will also feature veteran actor Rajatava Dutta. Parambrata, who co-wrote the screenplay and dialogues with Srijib, is returning to the supernatural genre after his successful projects ‘Nikosh Chhaya’ and ‘Parnashavari’r Shaap’.
Casting for the remaining roles is still in progress, and production is expected to begin by the end of the year. ‘Bhog’ has already gained attention as a book and audiobook and was previously adapted into a film by Raajhorshee De, titled ‘Purbo Poschim Dokkhin Uttor Ashbei’.
