Kolkata: Filmmaker Sayantan Mukherjee’s web series on the Naxalbari revolt in 1967 is set to pull off a casting coup of a sort, according to ABP Online.
If everything falls into place, versatile actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui would share screen opposite Bangladeshi actress Jaya Ahsan in the web series that would be made in Hindi, Bengali and English. Based on controversial cop Runu Guha Niyogi’s novel Shaada Aami Kaalo Aami, Nawaz could be cast as firebrand Naxal leader Charu Mazumdar and Jaya would step into the shoes of his wife Leela Mazumdar.
The series may also feature actors Paresh Rawal, Ronit Roy, Sabyasachi Chakroborty, Saswata Chatterjee and others.
