Actor Mimi Chakraborty has become the first Bengali actor to wear a bikini in a Bengali film. The look features in 'Raktabeej 2', the upcoming film by Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee, slated for release this Durga Puja.
The recently released song 'Choker Neele' from the film has already generated buzz, with Chakraborty’s appearance being compared to prominent Bollywood actors like Deepika Padukone and Kiara
Advani.
Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee commented on this shift. "Cinema is a reflection of society’s evolution. At Windows Productions, we believe in telling stories that are bold, meaningful, and relevant. Mimi’s fearless performance in Raktabeej 2 is a step towards breaking outdated taboos, empowering modern narratives while staying true to cinematic quality and commercial sensibility,” Roy and Mukherjee said in a joint statement.
