On 19th August 2025, SB Films And Entertainment unveiled the much-awaited official trailer of their upcoming mystery thriller film Bahurup. Directed by Aakash Malakar, the film stars Soham Chakraborty and Idhika Paul in the lead roles. The film will be released in the theatres on 29th August 2025.
The 2-minute trailer reveals quite a lot about the plot, which revolves around actor Abhimanyu Mukherjee (Soham Chakraborty), who has gone missing. A serial killer is on the loose, murdering people and leaving behind poems written in blood on the victims’ bodies, each time in disguise.
In one striking scene from the trailer, Soham Chakraborty says, “Ami Charbak,” which most likely refers to the character he is portraying in the film within the film, hinting that this character could be connected to the serial killings.
The fight sequences and romantic moments seem to belong only to the “film within the film,” rather than the main narrative. While the whodunit element is already revealed in the trailer, what remains intriguing are the questions of “why-dunit” and “how-dunit.”
The trailer also gives the impression of an incomplete or unreleased film, where the lead pair might once have cherished big dreams around its success, but the project never reached completion. The trailer looks gripping and succeeds in creating suspense effectively. Soham Chakraborty appears convincing throughout, and as revealed in the official poster, he will be seen in seven different looks in the film.
Bahurup has the potential to be a strong comeback for him. Many fans who have admired his performances in films like Prem Aamar, Amanush, and Bojhena Shey Bojhena have often felt disappointed with his recent choice of films—Shastri being an exception.
Idhika Paul looks impressive in the trailer. She has been making smart film choices ever since her debut with Priyotoma, followed by Khadaan starring Dev and Borbaad starring Shakib Khan. She delivered impressive performances in her earlier films, and there’s little doubt that she will do the same this time as well. Up next, she will also be seen in Dev’s upcoming films Raghu Dakat and Projapati 2.
Bharat Kaul, Debleena Dutt, Loknath Dey, and Kamaleshwar Mukherjee will portray significant roles in this film. Bahurup marks the second directorial venture of Aakash Malakar, following his debut film Pratham Barer Pratham Dekha (2022), which starred Arya Dasgupta and Rittika Sen.
The story and screenplay of Bahurup have been penned by Aakash Malakar himself, while the script and dialogues are written by Niladree Ganguly. Bahurup marks director Aakash Malakar's maiden collaboration with Soham Chakraborty and Idhika Paul. Subhajit Singha has edited this film, marking his maiden collaboration with director Aakash Malakar.
Arpita Abhishek composed the songs and background score for this film, marking their maiden collaboration with director Aakash Malakar. Souvik Basu handled the cinematography of this film, marking his maiden collaboration with director Aakash Malakar.
The film marks the maiden collaboration between Soham Chakraborty and Idhika Paul.
