Abhishek Banerjee Onboard For Bharatbalas Film Set Against Maha Kumbh

Stree actor Abhishek Banerjee was recently clicked at the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj where he was seen performing puja with director Amar Kaushik. And now, we are getting to know that the actor is all set to star in a project that is set against the Maha Kumbh. The film titled Mahasangam delves into the complex dynamics of a father, son and daughter caught in a poignant struggle over a musical inheritance. It is touted to be a powerful exploration of family, legacy, and music, set amidst the world’s largest gathering of humanity.

Besides Banerjee, the film also stars Neeraj Kabi and Shahana Goswami in the lead roles. Mahasangam is directed by the visionary Bharatbala, renowned for his evocative storytelling and cinematic style. The film is enriched by the musical genius of one other than A.R. Rahman.

Speaking about the film, director Bharatbala said, “Mahasangam is Virtual Bharat and my tribute to the world’s largest gathering of humanity, the Maha Kumbh Mela, that concluded today. This is a story that delves into complex layers of human emotions and unfolds at an unprecedented gathering of pilgrims. This is a story that dives deep into a journey of redemption, inheritance and music, narrated through the three lead characters. I’m immensely proud and fortunate to direct this film, especially with the incredible talent backing it. From the legendary A.R. Rahman coming on board to do the music to an absolutely outstanding cast and with the blessings of Ajoy Chakroborty,  a stalwart of Hindustani classical music — each one of them adds something special to this journey”.
