Ritabhari Chakraborty begins shooting for Fatafati

Actress Ritabhari Chakraborty has started shooting for the film Fatafati, which also stars Abir Chatterjee. Directed by Aritra Mukherjee, the movie deals with the issue of body-shaming.

On 8 March, International Women’s Day, the film's backers — Windows Production — released a video, which highlighted how the hourglass figure has been considered an ideal for women for years and also revealed Chakraborty’s look as a plus-size model.

The actress, who also played the protagonist in Mukherjee’s Brahma Janen Gopon Kommoti (2020), has undergone a massive physical transformation for the film. Chatterjee will be seen as her husband.

“Fatafati is a film very close to my heart because of its message," said Chakraborty, "Tracing a journey of a plus-size model while exploring the idea of unrealistic beauty standards is already a winner in my head! I am super excited to start working on it with Abir Chatterjee."
