Two popular Tollywood actresses, Jaya Ahsan and Srabanti Chatterjee, are set to share the big screen together for the first time in national award-winning director Arjunn Dutta's new psychological thriller film, 'RSVP Murder.' Set against the picturesque backdrop of the hills, the film weaves a tale of mystery, suspicion, jealousy, and betrayal.
The movie is being produced under the banner of producer Abhijit Chatterjee's production house, Shri Abhigyan Dreamworks Private Limited, with Rupam Goswami serving as co-producer.
The story begins with a joyful celebration or party set in the hills. However, an unsettling message suddenly alters the festive mood, instantly transforming the atmosphere into one of mystery. This triggers the investigation of a murder, and as the inquiry progresses, the hidden sides of familiar people begin to emerge.
The narrative explores the masks worn behind friendships, strains in marital relationships, family grievances, jealousy, and various facets of betrayal. Beneath the veneer of seemingly normal relationships, every individual appears to harbor a secret truth. Alongside the mystery, the film will feature dark humor and psychological conflict.
A major highlight of the film is bringing Jaya Ahsan and Srabanti Chatterjee together on screen for the very first time. Expressing her excitement about the project, Srabanti said, "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Arjun. The story of the film and my character are fantastic. I have never played such a role before, and audiences will see me in a completely new avatar."
Meanwhile, Jaya Ahsan remarked, "Arjun is one of my favorite directors. 'RSVP Murder' is a murder mystery, and I am excited to be a part of this film. Bringing this character to life comes with a unique set of challenges."
In addition to Jaya and Srabanti, the film features a star-studded ensemble cast including Silajit Majumdar, Koneenika Bandopadhyay, Mistu (Abhipsha) Chattopadhyay, Anuradha Mukherjee, Bibriti Chatterjee, Loknath Dey, Ankita Majhi, Kheya Chatterjee, and Gourab Roy Chowdhury, among others.
The screenplay has been written by Ashirbad Maitra and Arjunn Dutta. The technical crew includes Supratim Bhol as cinematographer, Sujoy Datta Roy as editor, and Mainak Mazumdar and Abhijit Chatterjee as music directors. Ranjeet Ghorai is in charge of art direction, while Poulami Gupta handles costume design.
"RSVP Murder," built around a murder mystery and the dark undercurrents of human relationships hidden beneath serene mountain landscapes, has already generated significant anticipation among audiences.
