Bhootpori, directed by Soukarya Ghosal, is about a little boy (Bishantak Mukherjee) who meets this restless spirit and a woman (Jaya Ahsan), who passed away in 1947. As the narrative goes on, the woman enlists the boy's assistance to solve the mystery surrounding her death.
"The Bhooter Raja in Satyajit Ray's Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne has always captivated me. Soukarya stated, "I've always wanted to make a movie about the amicable relationship that ghosts have with people and how they eventually learn to appreciate the risks as well as the fun of it.
Jaya went on, "The film touches upon the crime thriller genre as well as horror and ghosts."
Bhootpori, which also stars Ritwick Chakraborty, Sudipta Chakraborty, and Shantilal Mukherjee, is slated for a February 9 theatrical release. The music for the movie was composed by Nabarun Bose.
