Mukherji's playwright days In April 2008, during his playwright times, Mukherji formed his own troupe, Pandora's Act, whose first production,
Feluda Pherot! at Rangashankara in July 2008 was a runaway success. It was the first ever non-canonical dramatisation of Satyajit Ray's sleuth
Feluda.
Barun Chanda, Ray's leading man in
Seemabodhho, and
Parambrata Chatterjee, the screen
Topshe and film youth icon, starred in this production. Chanda was later cast in a supporting role in the 1st season of
Feludar Goyendagiri. Addatimes series In 2020, during the trailer launch event of the web series
Feluda Pherot, Rajiv Mehra, the founder of Addatimes, said that, after bringing
Parambrata Chatterjee's modern-day adaptation of Feluda from Bioscope to Addatimes, he was skeptical about people's acceptance of the new avatar. While discussing the project of doing a new Feluda series, Srijit Mukherji showed his interest in directing it. The first season, based on the story
Chinnamastar Abhishap, was released on Christmas 2020. The trailer of the second season,
Jawto Kando Kathmandute, was released simultaneously with the first season trailer and was also announced to arrive on Christmas 2020 but was later postponed to Christmas 2021 and then, was postponed indefinitely.
Moved to Hoichoi In the Hoichoi season 5 catalogue, the platform hinted at bringing the series to their platform. The formal announcement was made on 15 April 2022, in their new content catalogue. A special promo was released on 1 May 2022, celebrating Ray's birth anniversary. == Marketing and release ==
