The film features an ensemble cast including Srabanti, Sabyasachi Chakrabarty, Darshana Banik, Bibriti Chatterjee, and Arjun Chakrabarty, with a score composed by Bickram Ghosh.As anticipation builds, Devi Chowdhurani positions itself as a landmark in Bengali cinema — combining heritage, artistry, and international collaboration.
