Srijit Mukherji, a celebrated film director and screenwriter, embarked on his illustrious career on September 23, 1977.
Mukherji's remarkable professional journey has been characterized by an unrelenting pursuit of excellence, with his extensive body of work garnering widespread critical acclaim. Notably, his fifth cinematic endeavor, Jaatishwar, achieved an extraordinary feat by winning a total of four prestigious national awards at the 61st National Film Awards in India, thereby further cementing his reputation as a virtuoso filmmaker.
The subsequent year, his sixth film, Chotushkone, garnered him two highly coveted National Film Awards - Best Director and Best Original Screenplay - at the 62nd National Film Awards in India, a testament to his unwavering dedication to his craft and his unshakeable commitment to pushing the boundaries of cinematic storytelling.
Mukherji's exceptional aptitude and adaptability were once again magnificently demonstrated in his eighth cinematic endeavour, Rajkahini, which would later undergo a Hindi remake as Begum Jaan, starring the accomplished Vidya Balan, in the year 2017.
His 2018 cinematic release, Ek Je Chhilo Raja, went on to receive the prestigious 'Best Bengali Film' Award at India's National Film Awards, thereby solidifying his position as a prominent figure in Bengali cinema.
Mukherji's visionary undertaking, a cinematic odyssey of unprecedented scope, is poised to revolutionize the world of filmmaking. This audacious project, conceived to pay homage to the very fabric of the English language, aspires to bring to life a film inspired by each and every one of the 26 letters that comprise the alphabet.
As of the present year, 2022, Mukherji has already made significant strides in this endeavour, successfully translating 22 of the English alphabets into captivating cinematic experiences. However, the remaining quartet, comprising the letters IQ and W, remains in the realm of anticipation, eagerly awaiting their turn to take centre stage in this ambitious endeavour.
The anticipation surrounding Mukherji's project is palpable, as fans and cinephiles alike eagerly await the unveiling of the remaining four films, each one a testament to the creative genius and unwavering dedication of the visionary filmmaker.
