Storyteller Srijit Mukherji’s Bollywood debut

Filmmaker Srijit Mukherji is a well-known name in the Bengali cinema as he has delivered some hard-hitting and brilliant films. ‘Begum Jaan’ is an adaptation of his earlier Bengali film ‘Rajkahini’ which had starred actress Rituparna Sengupta in the lead role.
