- Srijit Mukherji, an Indian National Award-winning filmmaker, is directing "Maharaja Tomare Selam," a new film chronicling the making of Satyajit Ray's "Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne."
- "Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne" is described in the source as one of Indian cinema's most celebrated classics, with the making-of film's cast including Jeetu Kamal, Ritwik Bhowmik, Rudranil Ghosh, Satakshi Nandy, and Sairity Bane (name truncated in source).
Why it matters: A National Award-winning filmmaker turning his camera on the production of one of Indian cinema's most celebrated classics means the story behind "Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne" now reaches audiences through a dedicated film rather than scattered retrospectives.
