Popular actresses Jaya Ahsan from Bangladesh and Srabanti Chatterjee from Kolkata are set to share the screen for the first time in director Arjun Dutta’s upcoming mystery thriller, 'RSVP Murder', which delves into themes of murder, revenge, and complex relationship dynamics.
The storyline revolves around betrayal, revenge, and intricate human relationships. Set against a scenic hilly backdrop during a celebratory gathering, the plot thickens after an unsettling message arrives, prompting an investigation to uncover the identity of the killer and the motive behind the crime.
Director Arjun Dutta, known for acclaimed films like Abbyto, Sreemoti, Deep Freeze, and Bibir Payra—with Deep Freeze winning a National Film Award—is venturing into the thriller genre for the first time. Speaking about the project, Dutta noted that while his previous works focused on various facets of relationships, he had long desired to direct a thriller.
The film features an extensive ensemble cast alongside Jaya and Srabanti, including Silajit Majumdar, Koneenika Bandopadhyay, Anuradha Mukherjee, Bibriti Chatterjee, Abhipsa Chatterjee, Loknath Dey, Ankita Majhi, Kheya Chatterjee, Gourab Roy Chowdhury, Rupali Roy Bhattacharya, and Manoj Ojha. Acknowledging the large cast, the director emphasized that tight storytelling is vital to maintaining the impact of such a narrative.
If preparations proceed on schedule, principal photography for RSVP Murder is slated to begin in the hill regions of North Bengal by late November.
