Based on Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's famous novel 'Datta', the film is being made in Kolkata. Ferdous, the hero of Bangladesh, was taken as the hero in that movie. But Firdous dropped out of Indian movies even after shooting! Earlier two films based on the same novel were made in India in 1951 and 1976. Now Nirmal Chakraborty is making his first film based on this novel.

Ferdous, one of the most popular actors of Bangladesh, was previously signed to act in the film. Ferdous also shot the film in Bolpur, India in April. But suddenly it became known that Ferdous was dropped from the film 'Datta'. Sahib Chattopadhyay of Kolkata will act instead of Ferdous in the role of 'Bilas Bihari' in the film.

Ferdous campaigned for Trinamool Congress candidate Kanhaiya Lal Aggarwal during Lok Sabha elections in Raiganj, North Dinajpur, West Bengal, India. On that day, he also participated in Trinamool campaign march from Karan Dighi of Raiganj Constituency to Islampur. Then Trinamool candidate BJP state president Dilip Ghosh strongly protested alleging violation of election code of conduct by bringing in foreign stars.

When he complained about this to the Election Commission, as it was proved, Ferdous was immediately ordered to leave India by the Ministry of Home Affairs of India. Along with that, his visa was also cancelled. Then it is known from Indian media that Ferdous has been blacklisted in the country.

The maker of the film told the media that, 'We waited for almost 6 months for Ferdous. He had a lot of problems with his visa. We have tried a lot. But in the end nothing happened. In the end we got Sahib Chatterjee as Vilas Bihari. I hope to start shooting the film again next December with him.'

He also said that there is a plan to shoot the film by going to Bangladesh with Ferdous. However, with the budget of the film, it will not be possible to work as planned. All in all, Saheb Chattopadhyay was taken for the role of 'Bilas Bihari'.

It should be noted that 10 parts of the film 'Datta' has already been shot. Rituparna Sengupta is playing the role of Vijaya in the film 'Datta'.
