two favourite buddies Bapi (Suhotra Mukhopadhyay) and Pramatha (Somak Ghosh), the
gifted Sandipta Sen, and our own Rajatava Dutta were all in attendance.
In the mystery-thriller film directed by Joydeep Mukherjee, the trailer centres on Eken Babu
and his two sidekicks Suhotra Mukhopadhyay and Somak Ghosh. While on vacation in vibrant
Rajasthan, where the nostalgia of Sonar Kella hits hard to all the Bangali’s, suddenly a
mystery intensifies. the Professor of Archaeology at Oxford University, Shatadru Ghosh, played
by Rajatava Ghosh, alerts Eken Babu to his suspicions regarding a specific idol he had seen in
London that has gone missing. The film also features, the talented and intelligent Rajesh
Sharma who is a professor of chemistry and relic preserver. The film promises to present a
fun-filled adventure set in the lively Rajasthan.

saying, “Eken babu is a particularly special figure in my journey. The trailer launch in front of
the students was such a surreal experience. This time, we spent a lot of time filming in
Rajasthan, and the audience will undoubtedly enjoy this captivating experience. This time, the
circumstances surrounding the case will raise questions for everyone watching, including the audience”.
The character Suhotra Mukhopadhyay and Somak Ghosh acted as Eken’s confidants
in the movie said, “Honestly, being a part of this franchise always feels amazing, and the
audience never fails to demonstrate their appreciation for us. The best treatment is when
someone treat you like they are their own. The Eken is now a cult figure and is based on the
late Sujan Dasgupta’s novel. We would love our audience to join their favourite “Maachey
Bhaatey” Bengali Detective on big screen this Poila Boishak and make this a blockbuster (Laughs).”
The talented Sandipta Sen, who will be seen in the role of a curator at the Jaisalmer
Museum from Kolkata, said, “Eken is loved by all age groups, and it was quite a fun
experience shooting in the exotic locations of Rajasthan. Since am not allowed to say much
of my character, the audience needs to wait for the release and fingers crossed hope they’ll
like it.”
