Watch: Sushant Singh Rajput as Byomkesh Bakshy

The trailer of Dibakar Banerjee’s much awaited Detective Byomkesh Bakshy is out. Set in a fictional 1940s’ Calcutta, Banerjee has given Bengal’s firmly middle-class detective Byomkesh Bakshi a very noir makeover.

Sushant Singh Rajput stars as the detective on his first case and as the trailer says it’s about “A War… A Mystery… A Detective…” and we should “expect the unexpected”.

Joining Rajput in the cast are Tollywood’s favourite light-eyed diva, Swastika Mukherjee, and Anand Tiwari. Detective Byomkesh Bakshy releases on April 3, 2015.
