The heinous crime that took place at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital has impacted the Bengali film industry adversely. A number of film releases were postponed. The films that were released in this period saw a box office debacle. However, now that the Puja is just around the corner, the festival release race is here. After the announcement and look release of Mithun Chakraborty’s Shastri and Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy’s Bahurupi, Dev and Srijit Mukherji’s team Tekka has started releasing looks. 

Rukmini Maitra's look in Tekka

On Sunday, about a month before its release, Srijit, Dev, and others shared the first look of Rukmini Maitra. In cropped hair and sunglasses, the actress looks sassy. Her photo appears on the King of the Deck. She dons a tan leather jacket and holds a gun. She is introduced as Maya. “Meet Maya, who commands the deck and the streets,” captioned. Besides, it is also written, “Shaheb, Bibi, Golam er deshe astine thak ‘Power! Authority! Justice!’ (In a country with a King, Queen, and Jack, let there be ‘Power! Authority! Justice!’).”

This is the second project after Zulfiqar in which Srijit and Dev collaborated as director and actor. Last year, Dev and Srijit posted a photo and announced that they would release a film in 2024. Tekka also features Swastika Mukherjee, Tota Roy Chowdhury, Kaushik Sen, and others. 

Dev will be back as an action hero in Khadaan

Meanwhile, Dev’s Khadaan will be released in December. The teaser shows that the actor is back as an action hero. He has been experimenting with his on-screen character. He started as a hero in mainstream commercial films. He then started acting in more serious and sensitive films. His Tonic, Projapoti, Pradhan, and several other films saw massive success at the box office.
