Last year, during Bhootchaturdashi, Parambrata Chatterjee’s supernatural series Parnashavarir Shaap was dropped on Hoichoi. Along with Chiranjeet Chakraborty – who plays Bhaduri Moshai in the series, it also features Surangana Bandyopadhyay, Gaurav Chakrabarty, Arna Mukhopadhyay and Anindita Bose. Soon after its release, season two of the show was renewed. This year, the second adventure of Bhaduri Moshai, Nikosh Chaya, will be dropped during Bhootchaturdashi.
Parambrata to direct a brand-new horror series
However, according to sources, Parambrata has already started to work on his next directorial project, Bhog. Billed as a supernatural thriller, the web series will feature Anirban Bhattacharya in the lead, sources revealed to OTTplay. Bhog, written by Aveek Sarkar, will be made into a series for Hoichoi. While the producers and director did not confirm the news, sources close to the project said the web series will go to the floors in December.
New shows on Hoichoi
Hoichoi was scheduled to announce its slate earlier. Along with other shows, this too was supposed to be announced. However, that event got postponed. Along with Parambrata’s Bhog, there are several other new shows including Ayan Chakrabarti’s Kaalratri – which marks the OTT debut of Soumitrisha Kundu – that were supposed to be announced. Besides, the second season of Swastika Mukherjee-starrer Nikhonj, season eight of Eken Babu, the second season of Srijit Mukherji’s Feludar Goyendagiri (Bhuswargo Bhoyonkor), Anirban’s Talmar Romeo Juliet, and other shows was also supposed to get launched.
Anirban and Parambrata, known long acquaintances, have worked together in Srijit Mukherji’s Dwitiyo Purush. They were seen jamming together on different occasions. Both are known musicians. Anirban is the creator of the anti-fascist song, Ami Ei Deshetei Thakbo, which was later made into a music video. Parambrata is one of the key people behind it. Meanwhile, Parambrata’s new show, the second season of Bhaduri Moshai, Nikosh Chaya will be dropped soon. Besides the recurring cast of Chiranjeet, Arna, Surangana, Anindita, and Gaurav, the show also features Kanchan Mullick and Anujoy Chatterjee. On the other hand, the release of Parambrata’s other directorial venture, Ei Raat Tomar Amar – which features Anjan Dutta and Aparna Sen – was postponed after the RG Kar incident.
