Feluda first appeared in the Ray family’s Bengali-language magazine Sandesh in 1965. Ray directed two Feluda films, “The Golden Fortress” and “The Elephant God” , where the Bengali detective was played by his frequent collaborator Soumitra Chatterjee. Feluda has subsequently been played by a range of Indian actors, including Shashi Kapoor, Abir Chatterjee, Tota Roy Chowdhury, Indraneil Sengupta and Bangladesh’s Ahmed Rubel.
“The interpretation in the current scenario, was a little less radical than what we did [earlier], because the platform and we both thought that, let’s try a middle road,” Chattopadhyay said. “Shabash Feluda” is directed by Arindam Sil, who has made several films featuring the other great Bengali detective Byomkesh Bakshi, created by Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay. It is produced by Chattopadhyay and Aritra Sen for Roadshow Films and Ashok and Himanshu Dhanuka for Eskay Movies.
“On one hand, there was a lot of appreciation. On the other hand, there was a lot of backlash as well. And we were completely prepared – Feluda is one of those rare icons or heroes that the Bengalis have got ever since independence. They identify a lot of a lot with him, they want to see themselves succeeding through Feluda,” Chattopadhyay said. “The backlash that happened actually made the series very popular in the sense that people started watching it in huge numbers, which was great.
