Srijit Mukherji's first foray into film production

SVF, Eastern India’s largest movie production house SVF and eminent film director Srijit Mukherji’s Matchcut Productions  announced plans to co-produce 3 Bengali films and a web series in the coming years.

In a yet another pro-industry initiative aimed at expanding Bengali cinema, SVF joins hands with Srijit for his first venture into film production. These 3 films and the web series will be over and above the 3 Srijit directorials -Uma, Ek Je Chilo Raja &Kakababur Protyaborton-already announced during “SVF Stories 2018” a fortnight ago.

The untitled film is based on writer Shankar’s famed novel “Chowringhee” and will star the biggest names in the Bengali film industry- Prosenjit Chatterjee, Abir Chatterjee, Jisshu Sengupta, Jaya Ehsan and Mamata Shankar.

SVF co-founder & Director, Shrikant Mohta, said ‘’Tollywood has no dearth of talent and Srijit is one of the finest we have. Already a National Award winning director, Srijit also has immense potential as a producer. We at SVF want to be part of not only his personal growth but also give the platform to him to find fresh talent and tell more exciting stories.”

‘’I consider myself extremely fortunate to be associated with SVF and owe most of the success to Shrikant and Moni. I am sure that SVF’s technical knowhow and infrastructural support will ensure that all my future endeavours as a director or producer will be even more successful,’’ said Srijit Mukherji, the maker of widely acclaimed films such as Autograph, Rajkahini, Zulfiqar and many others.
