Former Indian Cricket team captain Sourav Ganguly released the music of the movie on 13th May.
Babul Supriyo is all excited about this movie, in which he is appearing as the hero. He had had a small appearance in a Bengali movie named ‘Chander Bari‘ earlier, but this time he gets to play the male lead role.
