Even as Bengali filmmaker Kaushik Ganguly is set to foray into Bollywood with Manohar Pandey, he has begun work on his second Hindi feature. The multiple National Award-winning filmmaker has decided to adapt his 2019 film Jyeshthoputro. While the original featured Prosenjit Chatterjee and Ritwick Chakraborty as two brothers, Ganguly is in talks with Pankaj Tripathi for the lead role.
