Sujoy Ghosh, Avishek Ghosh and Mantraraj Paliwal team up for two Hindi film projects

Miraj Creations has joined hands with AVMA Media to back two Hindi feature films. The first of these films, Uma, will mark the directorial debut of Tathagata Singha and will be creatively produced by Sujoy Ghosh. 

Ghosh will also be on board as the writer and director of the second film, which is a major big-screen adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore's famous short story Kabuliwala. As a twist, the film will be a period drama set in the United Kingdom. 

Both films are expected to go on the floors next year. 

In a statement, Mantraraj Paliwal, vice-chairman, Miraj Group, said, “We find ourselves in a great phase, and are delighted to partner with a master filmmaker like Sujoy Ghosh, to bring to life his creative vision. Staying committed to producing quality film products, Miraj Group will always strive to collaborate with top talent in the entertainment business. We are excited about our association with AVMA Media on these two films."

Sujoy Ghosh added, "Both the films are very exciting, especially Kabuliwala, in particular, has been a dream project for me and now thanks to Miraj and AVMA I can finally adapt the story for the screen.”

Avishek Ghosh of AVMA Media said he was with this association with Miraj and was looking forward to bringing two wonderful stories to the screen. "The audience is in for a treat,” he said.

Raj Malik, business head, Miraj Creations, said the two "refreshing and exciting films from ace filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh" were just the beginning of Miraj’s vision to build strong creative credibility in the entertainment industry.
