Kolkata/IBNS: Bengali film star Mimi Chakraborty's first look as a cop in Nandita Roy-Shiboprosad Mukherjee's Raktabeej was unveiled by the makers on Saturday.

Mimi reprises her role of Sanjukta Mitra, SP Burdwan, in the sequel to the 2023 film Raktabeej, which was also directed by the filmmaking duo.

The poster has a reference to West Bengal and Bangladesh, raising speculations of what could be the basis of this installment.

The sequel, which will also feature veteran actor Victor Banerjee and Abir Chatterjee, was officially announced in January with a motion poster. 

Along with Mimi, Victor Banerjee and Abir are also set to reprise their roles from the first installment, which was based on the 2014 blast which took place at Khagragarh in West Bengal's Burdwan district.

In Raktabeej, which had a run in the box office for over 100 years, Victor Banerjee's character was modelled after former Indian President Pranab Mukherjee, Abir had played a probe officer and Mimi a cop.

Actor Ankush Hazra, who had featured in an item dance and also played a surprise and crucial cameo in the first installment, will also feature in Raktabeej 2.

The second installment is scheduled for a release in this year's Durga Puja.
