Hoichoi series Mohomaya marks Kamaleswar Mukherjee, Ananya Chatterjee's digital debut

Director Kamaleswar Mukherjee will make his digital debut in the upcoming Hoichoi original series Mohomaya, starring National Award-winning actress Ananya Chatterjee and Swastika Mukherjee.

The series, which is Chatterjee's first foray into the world of streaming, will also mark the acting debut of Bipul Patra.

Sahana Dutta, who has conceptualised the story and written the screenplay, is also the project's creative director and co-producer.

While the director did not reveal much about the story, where the characters will reportedly be chasing their past and an elusive future, he stated that he could not have a better opportunity to start his digital venture. “I assure you, audiences are going to love the story of Mohomaya, and more so, be stunned by the performances of Swastika, Ananya and even Bipul,” said Kamaleswar.

Chatterjee, who is known for her extraordinary performances in Abohomaan (2009) and television series Subarnalata, is excited to begin her new journey. “I was drawn to the story the moment I heard it. As an actor, it has been extremely fulfilling playing the part. From having done films and television, I am extremely thrilled to try my hand at the web-space with a series like Mohomaya that releases on a platform like Hoichoi,” she said.

Swastika, on the other hand, is a familiar face to Hoichoi viewers as she has appeared in numerous web-series such as Dupur Thakurpo, The Stoneman Murders (2019), Charitraheen (2020) and Panchforon. “With every project, I want to give something different to my audience. Mohomaya is one such project that I am very eager for people to watch. The beauty of releasing content on Hoichoi is that it reaches a vast number of people across the globe which, for an artist, is a big boon,” said the actress, who is known for playing bold characters.

Dutta said she has been working on the project for quite some time with her production house Missing Crew and co-producer Rohit Samanta. “Having worked with Hoichoi on earlier projects and to associate with them once again with my first production is very exciting. I am overwhelmed by the response the teaser has gotten so far, here’s hoping that the poster and the series get even more love and appreciation,” she said.

Mohomaya will be streamed from 26 March.
