The next film of the Guptodhon franchise is officially on its way, bringing Sonada back to the big screen in the 'Saptadingar Guptodhon' after a four-year wait. The fourth instalment was launched with a muhurat ceremony on Saturday. In the upcoming chapter of the adventure-mystery franchise, Sonada will set out on another journey with Abir and Jhinuk in search of Saptadinga, following his previous adventures in Guptodhoner Sandhane, Durgeshgorer Guptodhon and Karnasubarner Guptodhon.

However, a moment from Sunday's muhurat ceremony has already sparked curiosity amongst the fans. Filmmaker Kaushik Ganguly will be seen in a special role in the film, marking his first association with the Guptodhon universe. It has not been revealed what role Ganguly will be playing, leaving fans guessing whether he will play a positive or grey-shaded role.

The upcoming chapter of the franchise is going to revolve around the trio that audiences have grown attached to over the years.

The new film will also introduce several additional characters in important roles. Shooting is expected to begin by the end of this month.
On the production front, SVF continues its long-standing association with the franchise.
