It was nothing short of a spectacle as Tollywood’s big shots, including Prosenjit Chatterjee, Srikant Mohta, Parambrata Chatterjee, Anik Dutta, Arindam Sil, Kamaleswar Mukherjee, Saswata Chatterjee, and others, gather to at the launch gala of Fridaay – a brand new OTT platform by Camellia Productions. The stakeholders of the Bengali entertainment industry, which has been witnessing an unprecedented clash between the technicians and directors over the Federation’s suspension order on Rahool Mukherjee, sent out a message of unity.
Prosenjit pointed out that at a time when the industry is suffering from a fund crunch and lack of work, Fridaay comes with a lot of promises. Directors, actors, and other stakeholders thanked and congratulated Nil Ratan Dutta of Camellia Productions for his effort.
