Dibakar Banerjee and Sushant Singh Rajput collaborated on Detective Byomkesh Bakshy

"The media colludes in this by wallowing in family, coterie and celebrity worship," said Dibakar Banerjee

"He was extremely practical and always knew he'd find a solution," said Rajit Kapur

We are starting to believe in time machines.

The role of circus troupe member Shekharan in Circus was one of SRK's earliest and is still fondly recalled by those who grew up watching Doordarshan in the Nineties.

Byomkesh Bakshi is one of the most celebrated Bengali fictional characters

Sushant believes that his curiosity to explore the various aspects of cinema and its makers around the world arose when he started working with Dibakar for their 2015 crime mystery Detective Byomkesh Bakshy

"Once I have been accepted by the Bengali audience in one film I know I have broken the jinx," says Jisshu Sengupta

The Bengali film, with music by Piku composer Anupam Roy, is about three characters - an assassin, a prostitute and a drug dealer. It hits theatres today, and stars Anjan Dutt, Detective Byomkesh Bakshy's Swastika Mukherjee, and Ritwik Chakraborty

"In Bollywood, directors have greater faith in actors. You can see an Alia Bhatt portraying a pock-marked rural woman in Udta Punjab which is a departure from her micro-flaunting image. In Bengali cinema, the directors are not willing to experiment with me," said Swastika Mukherjee

Sushant treated his fans for a question and answer session on Twitter on Sunday evening.

Abir Chatterjee played the titular role in Anjan Dutt's previous films on Bengal's favourite sleuth. "I told Jisshu that I did not want another Abir Chatterjee as Byomkesh. Instead of the intellectual appearance and Bengaliness, I wanted a sharper Byomkesh who is more desperate and a bit restless," said Anjan Dutt

"Well this is true. I am doing the sequel soon because I feel that the first instalment of Byomkesh is successful in terms of idea, art and creativity to make a new genre of cinema making. However, the commercial result was not successful," said Dibakar Banerjee

The Byomkesh Bakshy actor, who is dating his Pavitra Rishta co-star Ankita Lokhande, said that it took him more than three attempts to get the famous "Palat" dialogue right
