Mosharraf Karim, Paran Bandopadhyay, Ritwick Chakraborty to star in Manish Basu's Gu Kaku: The Potty Uncle

Director Manish Basu has announced the upcoming film Gu Kaku: The Potty Uncle, starring Bangladeshi actor Mosharraf Karim, Paran Bandopadhyay and Ritwick Chakraborty. The social satire will feature Tanushree Chakraborty, Susmita Chatterjee, Santial Mukherjee and Mishka Halim.

According to a report in Anya Samay, the entertainment supplement of Ei Samay, a Bengali daily, the film will tell the story of manual scavengers, who perform the vital task yet receive no respect. Set in the 1990s, the narrative revolves around a character from a marginalized social background, who becomes an influential figure in the manual scavenger community and also gains the status akin to the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

The film is reportedly a social commentary in the garb of satire. The poster of the film features a tin container, a piece of cloth and a broom.

Raja Narayan Deb will score the film while Tanmoy Chakraborty is in charge of the art direction.

The film will go on the floors in February.
