Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 6 (ANI): 'Bandish Bandits' actor Ritwik Bhowmik is all set to step into Bollywood with his first big-screen film.

Ek aisi mohabbat ki daastaan, jo na kabhi kahi gayi, na kabhi suni gayi... abhootpurv. From the streets of 90s Agra to a love that transcends life itself... Abhay's journey begins here. This heartwarming note is just a small glimpse of the world we're trying to create... the rest, we hope, you'll experience with us on the big screen.'
