While shooting for 'A Holy Conspiracy', legendary actor Naseeruddin Shah would often wait on the sets to give dialogue cues to his co-actor and icon Soumitra Chatterjee with whom he shared the screen for the first time.

Two powerhouse performers, who have kept generations hooked to big screen, will soon be seen sharing the screen together. This is the first time thespian Soumitra Chatterjee and Bollywood icon Naseeruddin Shah are coming together for saibal mitra’s ‘Debotaar Grash’ (A Holy Conspiracy), an adaptation of the novel ‘Inherit the Wind’ by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E Lee.

Director saibal mitra who is relieved to see his film ‘A Holy Conspiracy’ finally releasing in theatres says it was a lifetime experience to direct legends like Naseeruddin Shah and the late Soumitra Chattopadhyay in his film which released in theatres on July 29.
