Apart from Dev and Ishaa, Golondaaz will feature actors like Anirban Bhattacharya, Hiraan, Indrasish Roy and Joy Chatterjee. American Origin Actor Alex O’Neil, a well-established name in Bollywood is also playing a major role in Golondaaj. Alex O Nell, who has acted in Bollywood films like ‘Cheeni Kum’ (along with Amitabh Bachchan) ‘Main Aur Charles’ and recently released Web-series Aarya starring Sushmita Sen and Chandrachur Singh will be seen as British Officer in this period drama. This will be Alex O Nell’s third venture in Bengali film industry after ‘Yeti Obhijaan’ and ‘ Ek je chilo raja’. But perhaps the most ‘out of the book’ casting of the film is that of Dev’s onscreen father, i.e. of Surya Kumar Adhiakri. Eminent Singer Shrikanta Acharya has been roped in to play the role.
The film is being produced by Shree Venkatesh Films and is slated to release in the year 2021.
