Director Dipankar Dipon took a notable turn and formally announced his new movie titled ‘Chhatri Sangha’ in Cumilla. The director’s move in announcing this upcoming movie represents a significant milestone for Cumilla as the official poster unveiling
ceremony took place at the Kazi Nazrul Institute in Cumilla city recently.
The movie ‘Chhatri Sangha’ is being backed by the newly established Rajat Films.
The announced poster features the silhouettes of three women, each holding a pistol. The accompanying text reads, “The only armed women revolutionary group in the subcontinent, Cumilla’s ‘Chhatri Sangha’.”
It’s imperative to mention that during the anti-British movement, three students from Cumilla – Shanti, Shuniti, and Profulla – played crucial roles. Their campaign was so potent that even Subhas Chandra Bose came to meet them in Cumilla. Now, Dipon aims to bring this historic narrative to the screen.
While expressing his thoughts, director Dipon said, “I was amazed to learn about this story! A few students came together to form a full-fledged revolutionary group and carried out an operation that frightened the oppressive British. Such armed women revolutionary groups are nowhere to be found in the Indian subcontinent. Yet, such a significant event has been lost in history. After extensive research, I found an extraordinary cinematic plot full of suspense and excitement. I feel very pleased to announce this story from Cumilla; perhaps, some of the debts of this land will be repaid.”
Shooting is set to commence after Eid-ul-Azha and the movie is expected to be released by the end of the following year.
