Satyajit Ray’s Son Sandip to Direct Anthology Based on Father’s Literary Works; Saswata Chatterjee, Kaushik Ganguly to Headline Cast

Filmmaker Sandip Ray and producer Pradip Kumar Nandy are teaming up for an ambitious anthology featuring four of Satyajit Ray’s stories namely “Khagam,” “Batik Babu,” “Bhuto” and “Neel Atanka.” Three of these stories belong to the horror genre. While “Khagam” is a chilling supernatural short story, “Neel Atanka” dives into the horrors of Indigo planters during the British colonial period. All these are short stories, which make them perfect for this genre.
