Saswata Chatterjee might head to small screen as Bob Biswas
Remember the assassin character Bob Biswas from Sujoy Ghosh’s Kahaani? Well, the ones who don’t know, the character was played by Bengali actor Saswata Chatterjee.

And as per the recent reports, the character is said to be heading for the small screen. "The idea is being worked on. But it isn't easy. Bob (Saswata) would have to relocate from Kolkata to Mumbai. That uprooting may not be easy for him since he has lived in Kolkata all his life. That's where his roots, family and career are," said Ghosh.

Ghosh is intrigued to see the kind of popularity the character has garnered in a short span of time. "Bob's character is on screen for barely 5-7 minutes. But audiences have adopted him. I get suggestions on how to take Bob's character forward from youngsters on the net. There's a Bob Fan Club in Kolkata that is constantly churning out ideas.

"I think people like his ordinariness. Bob isn't your suave gun-toting, cool killer. He is an overweight job holder. We didn't give Bob a family life. But he probably goes back to a family after killing. He probably needs a second income to support his family. That's why he does the killings. I don't know. These are the details from Bob Biswas' life that need to be fleshed out. And we're working on it," Ghosh added.

Well folks, let us know if you too second with Ghosh’s idea or not!
