Saswata Chatterjee to make Dhallywood OTT debut

Noted Indian actor Saswata Chatterjee is a well-known face in both Bollywood and Tollywood. His powerful performances in films and on OTT platforms have wowed audiences, and he enjoys a massive fan base in Bangladesh as well. This time, the actor will be seen in a Bangladeshi web-series called "Gulmohar", directed by Syed Ahmed Shawki.

The actor has been granted permission to visit Bangladesh to take part in the shooting of the project. He has been allowed to shoot in Bangladesh for five days, from June 25 to July 7, according to a notification signed by Saiful Islam, deputy secretary of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, on June 20.

Although the director has confirmed to local media that Saswata will be acting in "Gulmohar", he is not ready to reveal the names of the rest of the cast or the series' release date.

The director revealed that Saswata will participate in the shooting within the time mentioned in the Ministry of Information's notification. "The release date of the web series will be announced by the production company after the shooting," stated the director.

After "Karagar 2", Shawki is returning to the director's chair with the much-anticipated "Gulmohar". The series centres around a thriller story and is being produced by Film Syndicate. The project will be released on the OTT platform, Chorki.
