Director Bikas Ranjan Mishra is all set to shoot his film Chauranga from 22nd September.

Apart from Arpita, Riddhi Sen and Sanjay Suri, there has been a few additions to the cast. Dhritiman Chatterjee, Swatilekha Sengupta, Kolkata boy Soham Maitra as well as Mumbai import Digangana Suryavanshi will join the team shortly.

Remarkably, the director is glad about the way his cast has shaped up. He disclosed that has been associated with Sanjay for long. Till date, they have only spotted him in urban roles. However here, he is ready to stun everyone with his rustic look and a raw appeal. He is really working hard on his character and it shows.

In addition, the director, who has given Arpita a deglam look in the film, is all praise for her. He admitted that he is aware Arpita has played glamorous roles in Bengali films. However, she has to break away from that mould in this movie. Particularly, she is entirely a director's actor.

Onir is the person, who is helming the production along with Sanjay. He couldn’t stop talking about Dhritiman's involvement in the film. In fact, he was the first actor who was approached following the story was conceived. Onir expressed that he is very happy that he is part of Chauranga. Apart from that, Bikas, whose timeless favorite movie is Satyajit Ray's Pratidwandi starring Dhritiman, is quite excited.

The director declared that he is his star. Actually, he has a lot of admiration for Dhritiman Chatterjee. He plays a blind priest in the film. Moreover, they have dealt with his repressed sexuality. He is kicked about the role too.

The film centers on a 14-year-old Dalit boy's obsession with an older girl and Bikas is glad to have found the teenage duo. On one side, Soham of Chaplin fame will get under the skin of the young hero, while on the other, Digangana from Mumbai will play his love interest. Renowned theatre personality Swatilekha Sengupta is supposed to play mother of Sanjay. Further, Riddhi is ready to get under the skin of Soham's elder brother in the film. Particularly, shooting will occur in and around Bolpur.
