Directed by debutante Diya Annapurna Ghosh, Bob Biswas resumed shoot in Kolkata on 23 November and wrapped up on 9 December after filming for 43 days in the city, keeping in mind all the social distancing norms.

Bob Biswas was a breakout character in Sujoy Ghosh’s 2012 thriller Kahaani, fronted by Vidya Balan. Played by actor Saswata Chatterjee, Biswas was an insurance agent who moonlighted as a cold-blooded contract killer.

Also starring Chitrangda Singh, Bob Biswas is slated to be released mid next year.
