Prateik to make his debut in Bengali cinema : Bollywood News

Even though Prateik made a splash in Bollywood with his debut film, a few wrong choices of films saw his career going nowhere. Post the debacle of his last film Issaq, he went totally missing from the Bollywood scene. Well, the good news that he will now be seen debuting in a Bengali film Arani Takhan, which is being directed by the debutante Sourav Chakraborty, the same man who had assisted Ashutosh Gowariker in Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se.

Talking about the film, Sourav said that the film's a journey of love between the time when Babri Masjid was demolished (1992) and the infamous Gujarat riots (2002). He added that while Prateik's character is neither positive nor negative, the film will show the transformation in him because of the aforementioned two highly sensitive incidents. While the film will be shot in Kolkatta, Mumbai and Gujarat, the film is expected to roll during the end of May. He also added that, the film will be having subtitles and will also be dubbed in English, under the title of Tryst With Destiny, for the international audience.

Besides Prateik, Arani Takhan will also star Paoli Dam as his ladylove and Indraneil Sengupta in an important role.
