Fresh off the success of his biographical drama Binodiini: Ekti Natir Naam, director Ram Kamal Mukherjee is returning to the big screen with his next film, Lakshmikantapur Local, which has now wrapped shooting, the makers announced on Tuesday.

The film turns the spotlight on the everyday lives of domestic workers in Kolkata’s middle-class households.

While it was initially speculated that Rupa Ganguly will feature opposite Kaushik Ganguly in the film, a poster dropped by the producers confirms that Rituparna Sengupta will play the lead role.

Set in Kolkata and its adjoining areas, including the titular local train route, Lakshmikantapur Local captures the essence of working-class life. According to the makers, the story draws from the lives of those whose labour often goes unnoticed, but without whom daily life in urban households would come to a standstill.

The ensemble cast also includes Paoli Dam, Indraneil Sengupta, Sangeeta Sinha, Chandrayee Ghosh, Sayani Ghosh, John Bhattacharya, Rajnandini Paul and Debasish Mondal. Former West Bengal Transport Minister Madan Mitra will make a special appearance in the film.

Lakshmikantapur Local is produced by Sangeeta Sinha and Prateek Chakraborty of Pramod Films and Angel Creations, respectively. The first look of its characters will be out on May 20.

Ram Kamal Mukherjee has already announced his next directorial venture, Draupadi, starring Rukmini Maitra in the titular role.
