Shekhar Ghosh, who made the Vir Das-starrer Sooper Se Ooper, is set to direct his first Bengali film, Morichika starring Indraneil Sengupta, Riya Sen and Arijit Dutta among others. Ghosh says, ���
Morichika is more about illusions than magic and there's a love story in the heart of the film. The movie will show two generations and each character is chasing a mirage.���
Talks are on with
Dhritiman Chatterjee and Victor Banerjee to be a part of the film.
Ghosh adds, ���There are two female protagonists. While Riya will essay the role of Mayura, I'm yet to finalize the other actress.��� Bickram Ghosh will score the music and Soumik Halder is the DoP .
On her part, Riya says, ���It's the best script I've heard in a long time. I've worked with Shekhar in his ad films -he knows what looks best on me.��� Indraneil adds, ���I play Nil Roy Chowdhury , an illusionist. I will be attending special workshops to understand my character better.���
The film will go on the floors in October.
