Sushant Singh Rajput will be playing the role of Byomkesh Bakshi in Dibakar Banerjee's next film titled detective Byomkesh Bakshi. It Seems the manager plans to Partner with Yash Raj Films Which for this project will go on floors next year. If you remember there was a TV show based on the detective in 1993 and Rajit Kapoor played the super sleuth. And That show was definitely one of the best we had.
The movie, we hear, Set in the '40s, will highlight Byomkesh's college life and what made him take the route of solving complicated cases. Our only flu, will the film will Be Able to do justice to the show and the classic literature series? Wethinks someone who looks a tad more intense and intellectual Would have been perfect for the role. For instance, Abhay Deol Would have been a decent choice. We can imagine him looking like an absolute Bong babu moshai in a traditional dhoti kurta, just the way Rajit Kapoor was a detective par excellence
