Kolkata/IBNS: Celebrated filmmaker Srijit Mukherji has announced his latest project, Emperor vs Sarat Chandra, a powerful cinematic interpretation commemorating the centenary of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s iconic novel Pather Dabi.
Presented by Pradip Kumar Nandy under the banner of Nandy Movies, the film delves into themes of ideology, resistance and the timeless clash between state power and the written word.

Director’s Note
“Emperor vs Sarat Chandra for me is the classic story of the pen as the underdog and the sword as the oppressor. It reflects the turbulent times of the freedom struggle against the British, both in reality and fiction,” said filmmaker Srijit Mukherji.
