The film explores the harmful effects of children’s addiction to mobile phones and video games. The trailer was launched on Saturday, on the occasion of Children’s Day.
This film marks Chatterjee’s second venture with the director, after hit Bengali crime thriller Proloy (2013).
For Ganguly, who is also Chakrabarty’s wife, Habji Gabji will be her first film after her maternity break. The film went on floors in January and was supposed to have a theatrical release in May. Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the film’s release was halted and has now been scheduled for a Christmas premiere date.
Chakrabarty, a successful commercial film director, last worked on Parineeta (2019), starring Ganguly and Ritwick Chakraborty. His other films include Bolo Dugga Maiki (a 2017 film and a partial adaption of Malayalam film Oru Vadakkan Selfie), Adventures of Jojo (2018) and Shesh Theke Shuru (a 2019 remake of a 2016 Telugu film Siddhartha). He also has Dharmajuddha in the pipeline.
