The project is in the late development stage-

The development of my second film project, WHO KISSED ME IN THE DARK, begins with its selection at one of the world’s largest and most influential film pitch forums- Sheffield MeetMarket, UK.
On one side, the worldwide distribution of Redlight to Limelight continues; on the other, the new project opens a new story, new characters, and a new story space.
A total of 638 projects were submitted, and only 50 (Only two from India) have been selected to pitch before international film professionals, funders, producers, distributors, sales agents, and broadcasters in the UK.
By the way, how do you find the new film title?

This is an official announcement from BBC-
It feels deeply meaningful to me that the BBC Four will begin broadcasting my film Redlight to Limelight from 3 March, Tuesday at 22.20 ( UK Time) onward, for the next five years.
As far as I know—(though I’m not completely certain)—this may be the first ever Indian Bengali-language feature Documentary cinema to be acquired and broadcast by the BBC. In that sense, it carries a historic significance for me.
