Ritu And Roni Paired Up For “Pati Parameshwar” After 14 Years Of "Paromitar Ekdin"

Kolkata, March 28: Débutante Director Jayashree Bhattacharya is all set to come with her project “Pati Parameshwar”. Jayashree had earlier assisted Rituparno Ghosh in “Subho Muhurat”, “Chokher Bali” and “Dosar”. After “Paromitar Ekdin” in 2000, Rajatava Dutta and Rituparna Sengupta have been paired up for the film. Jayashree said, “The film is about the feelings between husband and wife from ‘just married’ status and then on. The story actually revolves around the lost of a pet dog owned by Sharmila (Rituparna) and she blames her husband, Officer-In-Charge of local police station, Arindam (Rajatava) for not paying so much attention to find her dog. This leads some hilarious incidents.” Rajatava Dutta said that, “It is my pleasure to work with both Jayashree and Ritu. I am doing husband of Ritu after a long 14 years and it will be a great fun to work with the team. Personally I am a fan of Jayashree as I already have seen her telefilms and also collected the copies from her husband. So, I rely on her in the matter of making a feature film.” In a recent announcement programme Rituparna Sengupta shared her experience by saying that, “Jayashree is debutante but her confidence level is envious. She is very confident about her work and I also think that the film will come up with a great success. Actually these days, fresh comedy film without some dual meaning is not happening and from this aspect, “Pati Parameshwar” is different. It will be very fun to portray the wife of Roni after ‘Paromitar Ekdin’, a long time ago.”   Subhraneel Biswas penned the story while Surojit Chatterjee composed the music and Sankaraiyaa directed the dance sequences. Rahul Arunoday Banerjee, Biswanath Basu, Kanchana Moitra, Dwijen Banerjee also teamed up for the film along with Sudipta Chakraborty and Rudraneel Ghosh in guest appearances.
