On May 1st, 2024, SVF Entertainment unveiled the official trailer of their upcoming thriller Athhoi. Arna Mukhopadhyay stars in the titular role, with Anirban Bhattacharya as Gogo and Sohini Sarkar as Diya in this adaptation of Shakespeare’s "Othello", marking Mukhopadhyay’s directorial debut.
The 1-minute-40-second trailer opens with Gogo expressing a cynical view, asserting that people don't love each other but rather hate or troll each other, lacking trust while doubt and suspicion define the modern world. Athhoi counters, professing his belief in faith and love despite the prevailing negativity. Anirban Bhattacharya's sarcastic smile adds depth to the interaction.
A scene depicts a young boy tearing a piece of cloth and giving it to another, hinting at themes of innocence and betrayal. The teaser concludes dramatically as Gogo urgently calls for help for the fallen Athhoi, adding a touch of irony.
Anirban Bhattacharya's performance shines in this teaser, particularly in the gripping final moments. Arna Mukhopadhyay portrays Athhoi decently, while Sohini Sarkar captivates as Diya. Ditipriya Roy and Arpan Ghosal will be seen in significant roles in this film.
The cinematography by Soumik Haldar stands out for its precision and elegance, complemented by Amit Chatterjee’s music and Subhadeep Guha’s background score. Sanglap Bhowmik's editing contributes to the teaser's impact.
Scheduled for release on June 14th, 2024, "Athhoi" promises a unique cinematic experience. Anirban Bhattacharya's involvement as a creative director ensures a distinct presentation, as seen in his previous work on "Byomkesh O Pinjrapol", which diverges stylistically from other Byomkesh series. He will be working as a creative director in Talmar Romeo Juliet too.
