After the success of Bengali film "Belaseshe," upcoming flick "Praktan" (Former), which marks the return of the superhit pair of Prosenjit Chatterjee and Rituparna Sengupta, will be released all over the country.
Eros International today said they are anticipating a universal appeal for this film among discerning audiences across India. Therefore, the company also plans to release "Praktan" in newer markets across India apart from Bangalore, Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Pune.
It will become the first Bengali film to release nationally on the same day of its Kolkata release on May 27.
"We want to open up markets for Bengali films across the country, enter untapped, newer territories such as Baroda, Patna, Indore, Bhopal, Kanpur, Lucknow and Chandigarh," Nandu Ahuja, Senior vice-president of Eros International, said.
He said the company was happy to unite with Shiboprasad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy again after the tremendous success of "Belaseshe".
"With the biggest stars in the Bengali industry, hit music and an intriguing story, I am sure 'Praktan' will woo audiences across India," Ahuja said.
"Praktan" is a romantic drama that captures the importance of memories and will bring together Prosenjit Chatterjee and Rituparna Sengupta after 15 years.
The film also stars Soumitra Chatterjee and Sabitri Chatterjee, besides marking the acting debut of popular singer, lyricist and music director Anupam Roy of "Piku" fame.
