'I don't believe in sequels'

Despite full occupancies in single screens in evening and last two weekend shows Ramdhanu, the newest Bengali flick on the school admission fallacies under the garb of western education, will not be turned into a sequel.
Director Shiboprosad Mukhopadhyay currently experimenting with the new genre of Bengali films dwelling on social issues which intrigue the middle class urban populace, said, "As there is no plan to make Ichhe Two, a sequel of our first film about the rat race in life, we are not thinking on the lines of extending the journey of Ramdhanu."
"Every film runs on its own steam. And overwhelmed with the response and adulation of the audience, who include parents having confessed the interviewed couple in the film can be their 'Selfie' in the other sense," Shiboprosad, who credited colleague-team member Nandita Ray as having executed the script from behind the camera, said.

Shiboprosad, a gifted actor, turned up in a pivotal character of the film - a modest medicine shop owner -turned father facing humiliation and insult before an interview board for daring to dream - to get his son admitted to an elite school.
The other important lead in the flick, Gargi Roychowdhury, said "So many parents, expecially mothers came up to congratulate me for the role after the special screening. My anxieties gave way to relief that the ordinary homemaker-mother could identify with my screen character. This raises the bar of my acting, hope will get more scope in the realistic genre."

Director Abhijit Guho of Bapi Bari Ja and Jodi Love Dile Naa Praane aaid, "Both Ichhe and Ramdhanu will set new benchmarks in the domain of Bengali films."
Producers Atanu Raychoudhury said,
"Shiboprosad-Nandita are one of the most promising director duo in Bengali cinema in the sense they have a grasp on the pulse of society and make socially-relevant films which the audience can very much identify.
