Prosenjit Chatterjee commands Bengal’s rebel saga as Bhavani Pathak, whose stirring tribute to Srabanti Chatterjee’s Devi has already struck a chord with audiences.
In a landmark moment for Indian cinema, Devi Chowdhurani—the first Indian film to achieve official Indo-UK co-production status (announced by the I&B Ministry at Waves 2025)—unveiled its teaser digitally to viewers across the globe.
The teaser offers a sweeping first glimpse into Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay’s legendary rebel heroine. Srabanti steps into the titular role of Devi, while Prosenjit embodies the enigmatic rebel leader Bhavani Pathak. One line in particular has captivated viewers — “Among metals, you are the meteor.”
The magnum opus is helmed by National Award-winning director Subhrajit Mitra. The ensemble cast includes Sabyasachi Chakraborty, Arjun Chakraborty, Darshana Banik, Bibriti Chatterjee, and Kinjal Nanda, with music composed by Grammy-nominated maestro Pandit Bickram Ghosh.
Speaking about the milestone, Prosenjit Chatterjee says, “It’s a moment of immense pride to see a Bengali story, born from our soil, language and history, shine on the world’s largest screen.”
