The production house honoured the late actor by sharing a glimpse from the Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy directorial venture, which also stars the late actress Swatilekha Sengupta.

Belashuru has the same cast as the filmmakers' multi-starrer film Bela Seshe (2015). However, the connection between the two films has been kept under wraps by the director duo.

In Bela Seshe, Chatterjee played Biswanath Majumdar, a senior citizen who decides one day to separate from his wife of 49 years (Sengupta).

In the glimpse from Bela Shuru, Chatterjee lovingly combs Sengupta's hair and affectionately explains to her the essence of love in a marital relationship by reciting a poem by Rabindranath Tagore. The beautiful video not only conveys the adorable onscreen chemistry between the two honours Chatterjee, who was revered as a poet and was famous for his recitations.
