Raj Chakrabarty’s Le Chakka .. which is about the ghoti and bangal fight, might see Jeet Ganguly as just a singer ..
It’s not a political Ora Amra fight that’s inspired Raj Chakrabarty’s Le Chakka... To be precise, Raj has been inspired by the age-old fight between ghoti and bangal in a North Kolkata para. And surprise of surprises is that this time around, composer Jeet Gannguli might be seen only as a singer and not the composer of a Raj Chakrabarty film!
Speaking about LC, Raj says, “These days, one doesn’t find the camaraderie that one used to find in a para. Despite the storms in umpteen number of teacups concerning sports, food and politics, the bond between the neighbours was unmisteakable. My film will have the essence of that old Bangaliana culture,” informs the director.
Though Jeet has always composed for Raj’s film, the composer will give LC a miss because of date problems. “Indraadip will be scoring the music for my film. Even if Jeetda isn’t scoring the music, I want his association with my movie. That’s why I’ve approached him to record a number though he is yet to give me a nod,” Raj says.
Jeet, who is currently busy with shows and music composition, confirms the offer for singing the number — Ekta bindaas para, chole hazaro bhantara. “Yes,” he says, adding, “I am certainly looking into it though I’m extremely busy with my prior commitments.”
Meanwhile, Indraadip says, “Music will the USP of the film with melody-based numbers. In order to get a contemporary feel to the lyrics, we are roping in copy writers to do the job. Raj exactly knows what he wants. As a music composer, it’s easy to work and communicate with him,” says Indraadip about the score for this comedy.

As for the cast, Dev will play a bangal even though in real life, he is a ghoti. “I’m actually paying a visit to North Kolkata to get a feel of the ghoti and bangal rivalry and know more about the essence of the quintessential para culture. Being a ghoti in real life, I have to transform my body language and mannerisms to play a bangal. LC is basically a sports film where cricket plays a major role,” says Dev, who is also doing Sujit Mondol’s next from February.
And guess what Dev’s name is in LC? Well, it’s Abir — the same name that his character had in Challenge. “Abir is a lucky name for me. It has worked in Challenge. I hope it works for me this time as well,” laughs Dev.
It remains to be seen whether Abir in LC will challenge the boxoffice success of Abir in Challenge !
