The two actors will be seen crossing swords on screen

Anindya Ghosh is excited about the way his Saheb Bibi & Joker is shaping up. While Arunima Ghosh was locked right after the film was conceived, the director has now roped in Rajatava Datta to play Saheb. What��s more, Saswata Chatterjee has been cast as Saheb��s nemesis �� Moti Mondal. The unit is excited about bringing two powerful actors together.

Says Rajatava, ��I have read the script and immensely liked the way Bimal Mitra��s classic has been interpreted. Saheb��s character is not only well etched out, he has multiple layers to his personality. The way the team has thought about the production design is also very interesting. I found the role too tempting to give a miss. Saheb not only has a strong personality, his interactions with the two women in his life will bring about some crucial moments in the movie.��
For the director, bringing the two actors together is a dream come true. While their camaraderie has got many films noticed, they will here be seen crossing swords all through. About roping in Rajatava, the director says, ��Rajatava��s screen presence and personality are perfect for Saheb. As we discussed the script for over four hours, his instant interest and involvement with the character fascinated me.��
Moti Mondal, despite being a new character, holds tremendous promise, explains the director. ��The plot is completely different from Saheb Bibi Gholam and therefore, we need to introduce new characters to take the story forward. Saswata is as excited about the venture as I am. The role is on a par with the characters of Saheb, Bibi and Joker,�� he says.

Avishek Ghosh from the production house is overjoyed with the casting. ��Getting Rajatava and Saswata to share screen space is quite something. Both their characters have many shades to them. While Saheb will be seen in a new light, Moti��s character will be an unexpected treat for the audience.��
Saheb Bibi & Joker is expected to go on the floors in November.
