Devoleena Bhattacharjee who is ready to make her film debut with ‘Bengal 1947,’ stated, “There were several reasons why I was drawn to this role. Firstly, it reunited me with Director Akashaditya Lama, with whom I had the pleasure of collaborating on his play Mohenjodaro early in my career. He’s become like family in that sense. But beyond our connection, the character itself is incredibly strong and nuanced, offering real substance for an actor. Additionally, my own Bengali and Assamese heritage allowed me to deeply connect with the film’s themes.”

Shedding light on the subject, she added, “This film promises to be a visual masterpiece, exploring the enduring power of love amidst the harrowing chaos of partition. While audiences have seen love stories and historical dramas on partition before, this film promises a wholly unique experience. It’s both thought provoking and entertaining.”
