Bengali star actress Rukmini Maitra who plays the coveted role of Binodini Dasi says, “I have been preparing for this character since past one year. I wanted to give my 100 percent while portraying this iconic character.”
Ram Kamal reminisced on how the last schedule was truly emotionally drenching as the viral attack on the crew took its toll and they had to stop shooting for a week. And yet the team spirit was on a very high level and they completed the shoot. He adds, “Rukmini dedication was so amazing. Though she had a fever, there was scene of Binodini bathing in the Ganga at Dakshineswar ghat early morning. And though she just recovered, she delivered the shot like a pro. I am grateful to Prittam Choudhuryy and his production team for making everything possible, and DOP Soumik Halder, Art Director Tanmoyy Chakraborty, Editor Pronoy Dasgupta, Costume designer Suchishmita Dasguptadi all did unthinkable stuff to make it happen. Also music director duo Sourencra-Soumyarit has given music which took Binodini in to an another level.”
