‘Jete Nahi Dibo’, film on Uttam Kumar, set for release after long legal battle

After a three-year legal dispute, the biopic ‘Jete Nahi Dibo’ on Uttam Kumar, directed by Prabir Roy, is set to release. Sujan Neel Mukherjee, who portrays Uttam Kumar, faced criticism for his look. Prabir, who describes the film as a ‘docu-feature’, emphasizes its portrayal of lesser-known facets of Kumar’s life. Initially planned for a 2019 release, the film was delayed due to legal challenges from Kumar’s family. The cast also includes Mallika Singha Roy, Sakuntala Barua, and Payel Ray.
