Kolkata, May 28 (Washington Bangla Radio): The scene is that of a woman begging in front of a politician who seems disinterested in the appeals that she is making. He ignores her appeals and is engaged in his own world of corruption and back biting. This scene was enacted by Leena who is playing the role of Shampa and Somnath Chatterjee who is playing the role of Shirshendu Basu in this film. The film for which this scene is been shot is Niyoti. The film is the first venture under the banner of Raj Entertainments.
Ashoke Raaj who is the director of the film gave a sneak peek into the film. “Niyoti means destiny. The film is based on our society. With the help of the film I have tried to show how destiny can play an important role in what an individual becomes. This is the reason why one becomes a thief, a driver, a teacher or a sex worker. My film is based on Kolkata and the characters are people whom one meets in their day to day life. This is a story of Raghu (Ashoke Raaj) and Shampa (Leena). Raghu is a milkman by profession and Shampa is the daughter of a laborer. Raghu is mistaken as a murderer and his life changes. He becomes a don. Shampa on the other hand becomes a sex worker. What happens to them as a result of their destiny is the main twist in the film”.
