Arpita Chatterjee delighted to be part of a film connected to Satyajit Ray

It was Satyajit Ray’s 98^th birth anniversary on Thursday and like every other Bengali celebrities actress Arpita Chatterjee too posted a picture paying her homage to the master filmmaker. She also mentioned about the upcoming film ‘Abhijatrik’ which will take forward Ray’s iconic Apu Trilogy.
The pretty actress gave a fitting caption to the photograph which read: “Homage to the veteran filmmaker #Satyajit Ray, who has given us some beautiful movies to learn from.I'm glad & elated to be the part of #Abhijatrik the movie which is the continuation of Apu Trilogy. My respect to the luminary.”
Subhrajit Mitra is donning the director’s hat for ‘Avijatrik—The Wanderlust of Apu’, based entirely on the concluding part of ‘Aparajito’ by Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay. The story will take off from where ‘Apur Sansar’ ended.
While ‘Ahaa Re’ actor Arifin Shuvoo will be seen as Apu, Arpita will essay the role of Leela along with Sreelekha Mitra as Ranu di. Sabyasachi Chakraborty plays Apu’s friend and TV actress Dwitipriya Ray will be seen as Aparna.
‘Abhijatrik’ is presented by renowned Bollywood producer Madhur Bhandarkar and produced by Gourongo Films.
The Apu Trilogy - Pather Panchali (1955), Aparajito (1956) and Apur Sansar (1959) – is widely regarded as Satyajit Ray’s cult classic which started the neo-realist movement in Indian cinema.
