Sandip Ray has begun shooting a new anthology project that will feature four of his father's celebrated films.
Sandip Ray has officially kicked off production on an ambitious anthology that will re‑interpret four of Satyajit Ray’s most iconic films. The project, announced earlier this month, aims to bring fresh perspectives to classics such as "Pather Panchali," "Aparajito," "Apur Sansar," and "Charulata."
The initiative is part of a broader effort to preserve and revitalize Ray’s cinematic legacy for a new generation of viewers. By assembling a team of contemporary filmmakers and technicians, Ray hopes to honor his father’s vision while infusing the stories with modern sensibilities.
Filming is slated to begin in Kolkata and select locations across West Bengal, with a projected shoot schedule of six months. The production will feature a mix of established actors and emerging talent, under the direction of Sandip Ray himself.
Industry insiders anticipate that the anthology could see a release in late 2025, potentially coinciding with the centenary celebrations of Satyajit Ray’s birth. The project has already generated buzz among film enthusiasts and scholars alike.
