Swastika Mukherjee to lead Indo-American film Chheledhora; details inside Known for her Hindi outings with Qala (2022), Pataallok (2020) and Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! (2015), actor Swastika Mukherjee bags the lead role of an Indo-American Production titled Chheledhora. All set to go on floors on March 1, Chheledhora will be shot across unexplored locations of Itanagar and Ziro in Arunachal Pradesh. The film will be helmed by Shieladitya Moulik, who is basking in the glory of Surjo, his recent theatrical hit, which ran for 11 weeks. Moulik is no stranger to Bollywood; he has directed Mrs Scooter (2015) and, more recently, Charak, which made waves at Cannes in 2025 and is now set to hit the theatres at home. Chheledhora centres on Brishti, a divorced, deeply-flawed and misunderstood woman played by Mukherjee, who impulsively “steals” her daughter for a birthday celebration, only to find the child abducted for real. Brishti must remedy the situation, but adopts the most unconventional approach in a twist of fate, which pushes her on a life-altering journey for self-absorbed parents forced to confront their own shortcomings as caretakers. The film blends emotional family drama with thriller elements and dark humour, positioning itself as a rare Bengali-language road movie anchored by a morally complex female protagonist. Poised to travel the international film festival circuit upon completion, Chheledhora will break language barriers to celebrate the language of cinema.
