Tota Roy Chowdhury stars as the iconic sleuth Feluda in Srijit Mukherji’s upcoming web series Feluda Pherot. Srijit shared a first glimpse of the crime solving trio on Twitter with Tota as Feluda, Kalpan Mitra as Topesh, and Anirban Chakraborty as Lalmohan Ganguly.
The Tweet simply read: “2020, and they will be back. #FeludaPherot @addatimes #ChinnomawstarObhishaap #JawtoKandoKathmandute @tota_rc @joythejoyous”
Anirban Chakrabarti in an earlier interview with the Dhaka Tribune Showtime described Feluda as a “very serious detective,” unlike Eken Babu, the funny, flamboyant detective he plays for a Hoichoi web series.
“Srijit called me up and said he had four names in mind for Feluda,” Tota told the Times of India. “Of the four, he would choose one based on several parameters, one of them being an audience poll. Some of the other parameters were his perception of the character and the dates of the actors. He also mentioned that the actor chosen would need to get into an extensive workshop for a month and a half. He wanted to know my schedule; I was also supposed to go for a look test. However, two days before the audition, he dropped the idea of a look test and confirmed me for the role.”
The series will be available for streaming sometime in 2020.
