Critically lauded actress Jaya Ahsan, who has captivated audiences across Bengal with her compelling performances, is set to reunite with the distinguished director Kaushik Ganguly for their new cinematic venture, "Ardhangini". This collaboration follows the triumph of their previous joint projects "Bijaya" and "Bisarjan", for which Ahsan's superb acting was roundly applauded.
The anticipation is palpable for "Ardhangini", with the film's title intriguingly translating to "Better Half". Fans have been abuzz with speculations ever since the first rumors of Ahsan's renewed partnership with Ganguly surfaced. The commencement of filming dates back to 2019, and the official release date has finally been confirmed by the star herself.
In a social media reveal that has ignited further excitement, Ahsan shared a tantalizing glimpse of the movie through a debut poster. The film is scheduled to grace the silver screen on June 2 of this year. Adding to the intrigue, Ahsan captioned her post cryptically, "Is it truly sliced half?" hinting at the possible thematic undertones of the film.
"Ardhangini" shines a spotlight on Ahsan and Churni Gangopadhyay in the main roles, bolstered by a supporting cast of Ambarish Bhattacharya and Purab Sheel Acharya. Bhattacharya is reportedly cast in the unique role of a singer. The narrative centers on the intertwined destinies of two women navigating a sea of changing circumstances and evolving events. Yet, the nature of Ganguly's potential role opposite either Ahsan or Gangopadhyay adds an element of suspense.
The cameras started rolling for "Ardhangini" following the festive celebrations of Durga Puja in 2019. Ahsan, keen on keeping her fans in the loop, has been consistently providing updates on the project, even offering a sneak peek into the film's aesthetic with the newly unveiled poster.
