Every weekend there will be a different story where the protagonist and his friends will explore and unravel the science behind the supernatural. I believe that there is a scientific explanation behind every supernatural occurrence but many use them to take undue advantage of others. In this show, we will see the protagonist and his team delving deep into every case and unmask those who use people’s vulnerability and faith to dupe innocents.”
The concept of this show is not like daily soaps, it is very different. It is extremely challenging for us as a production house to fictionalize events that have happened in real life. I am thankful to Star Jalsha for giving us the opportunity to showcase something so interesting and intriguing. My association with the channel has been since its inception. For over 10 years, Jalsha has striven to present thought provoking yet entertainment stories. It has revolutionized the Bengali GEC and challenged stereotypes with “Chalo Paltai”. Together we have created ‘Ganer Opare’- one of the biggest endeavors on Bengali GEC. We hope to create many such monumental moments in the coming years as well,” he said.
