If the script feels right, why not?, says Subhashree on working with Dev again
A decade after it was shot, Dhumketu , directed by Kaushik Ganguly and starring Dev and , is finally set to release. Once shelved due to production disputes, the film now brings back the much-loved Dev–Subhashree pairing. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Ahead of its release, Subhashree chats with us about taking on a rare role, revisiting a film years later, and the possibility of working with Dev again. Many are calling this your year. How do you feel about that? Yes, it's been a great year so far. My last film, Grihoprobesh was received with a lot of love, and now Dhumketu is finally releasing. It is a film fans have been waiting for, especially to see Dev and me together again. Even though it was shot 10 years ago, the story feels very relevant today. I also wrapped up Lawho Gouranger Naam Re , a biopic on Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. I feel grateful that directors are trusting me with such layered characters, and that the audience is appreciating my work. It really motivates me to keep growing as an actor. Dev and Subhashree in a still from Dhumketu What goes through your mind when you see yourself in the trending song Gaane Gaane from the film? It feels nice, though we definitely look quite different now. Dhumketu was shot a decade ago, but its story still feels very relevant. It was the first alternative film I did back in 2015 when I was only doing commercial roles, so it holds a special place in my career. I learned a lot from Kaushik da, both as a director and co-actor. With talents like Rudranil Ghosh and Chiranjeet Chakraborty in the cast, and outdoor shoots that were truly memorable, the film was ahead of its time in many ways. Dev and Subhashree in Dhumketu Fans are thrilled to see the Dev-Subhashree jodi back in Dhumketu. How do you feel about the love this pairing still gets? Absolutely. For years, fans kept asking when Dhumketu would release and when they'd see Dev and me together again. Now that the film is finally coming out, it's their chance to show how much they truly love this on screen pair. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Of course, how the film does at the box office is something only time will tell. Dev recently told Calcutta Times that he has tremendous respect for how you balance your personal and professional life, and that he's proud of the work you're doing. How do you feel hearing that from him? Thank you. Dev is a positive person who naturally focuses on the good and appreciates the positive in people and situations. Would you be open to working with Dev again in the future? I am a professional actor and open to working with everyone in the industry. If the story, script, and my character align with my creative instincts, then why not? Pix: Anindya Saha

‘We are good friends. Very close friends. Just not ‘that' close'
Srijit Mukherji and Susmita Chatterjee spill the beans on their relationship They've been spotted together at film premieres, intimate gigs, and over leisurely dinners at the city's favourite haunts. While the rumour mill is working overtime, Srijit Mukherji and Susmita Chatterjee offer a coy, coordinated response to their request sightings as a couple: 'Very good friends. Very close friends. Just not that close.' 'She's a team player' It all began in 2023 when the model-actress & the filmmaker almost worked together. 'He offered me a film back then,' Susmita says. 'But it didn't work out for some reason. Still, we stayed in touch and became friends over time.' Cut to 2025, when an actor (Parno) backed out of Srijit's ambitious period drama last minute, he called Susmita. 'She bailed me out. Within seven days,' Susmita is now part of the cast in Lawho Gouranger Naam Re, and as Srijit puts it, 'I loved working with her. She's helpful, flexible, down-to-earth. Just not very Bangali, that's all.' Which explains why they've been seen attending cultural programmes together —like Anjan Dutta's recent show. 'He's been a mentor, guide' 'I mean, I'm not that fluent in Bangla,' Susmita admits. 'So he's helping me with that. He keeps suggesting music, events… and honestly, I'm learning a lot. He's been a mentor and a guide. It is a friendship that has enriched me.' Srijit, on his part, plays it cool. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo 'Mentor and all are very hi-fi terms. We just share the songs we love. We eat out. We talk about films. And she makes me eat sushi while I try to convert her to Chinese. ' So what's really brewing here? 'Look,' Susmita says, 'people gossip. But I've never understood the need to hide when the friendship itself is helping me grow. If there was something to hide, would we be out and about so publicly?' Whether it's sushi, Chinese, or something slow-cooked over time, this duo's off-screen bond is definitely a talking point. If there was something to hide, we wouldn't go out publicly– Susmita Chatterjee She's into sushi and Indian food. I'm more of a Chinese guy – Srijit Mukherji
