Priyanka Sarkar to play lead role in Shieladitya Moulik's upcoming film Radio

Director Shieladitya Moulik has announced a Bengali feature film, starring Priyanka Sarkar, titled Radio.

The project, which is inspired by Moulik’s childhood memories, will depict the relationship between a girl and her radio.

The filmmaker said he had been willing to tell the story for a long time. Excited about making a film with a lot of songs that are steeped in nostalgia, Moulik said, “I remember when I was a child, I used to think there were little people inside the radio talking to me. The mystery of not being able to see the person whose voice we hear always fascinated me."

Moulik is eager to revisit the pre-internet and social media era.

Speaking about his maiden association with Sarkar, Moulik said, “She’s such a good balance of beauty and talent and I have always admired her work. I am sure the audience will love her in a very new avatar in Radio."

Radio is also Moulik’s first collaboration with Cinemad Pictures and Vishal Entertainment. “The entire team is really excited about the whole project because it’s different and has a very positive vibe. The film has a very minimal cast and we are in the process of zeroing in on it," said the director.
