"There is the young and popular hero, Deb. The legendary film actors, Sandhya Roy and Moon Moon Sen are there. Then we have the well-reputed singers, Indranil Sen and Soumitra Roy of Bhoomi. We have the football superstar Bhaichung Bhutia who captained India team," Banerjee tweeted.
Banerjee said this was the first round of candidate list and TMC will soon announce its contestants for more places/states.
