Directed Sandip Ray, son of Satyajit Ray, was planning to make a movie on Professor Shonku for long time but was not getting suitable producers for the venture. The first film will be based on the story “Nokurbabu O El Dorado”.
Actor Dhritiman Chatterjee will play the lead role as Professor Trilokeshwar Shonku. Actor Shubhashis Mukhopadhyay will play his well wisher Nokurbabu. Apart from them, there will be many foreigner actors as per the demand of the story.
Dhritiman Chatterjee began his acting career in 1970 as the protagonist of Satyajit Ray's Pratidwandi (The Adversary). Most of his acting work has been in India's "parallel", or independent, cinema with filmmakers such as Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen and Aparna Sen, among others. He has also worked in English films with well-known filmmakers such as Deepa Mehta and Jane Campion. He has received several acting awards in India and has been on the Jury of the Indian National film Awards.
