Buoyed by the success of 'Khakee: The Bihar Chapter', Netflix has come out with 'Khakee: The Bengal Chapter'.

In what may be called one of the most promising series on the digital platform, the shows the political condition and crime scene of West Bengal since 1988.

Known for its rich culture, heritage, and literature, West Bengal has not been depicted as a land where crime and political nexus go hand in hand irrespective of the party in power.

Set against the backdrop of the late 1980s to early 2000s filmmaker Neeraj Pandey shows the nasty and debauched socio-political situation of the state.

He also said that it is difficult to know what goes on inside an actor, even those who are close to him can not understand it fully.

Interfering at this juncture, Jeet Madnani said that when light falls on an object, it casts a shadow, which gets bigger; similarly, an actor's shadow becomes bigger with success, but when the success is removed, he becomes what he was earlier.

Sharing his experience, Prosenjit told Neelesh Mishra that it was a challenge to not express his feelings with the co-star in the movie, however, an actor must use the opportunity in the shot to express his feelings.
