The movie, which is a character-based spin-off film will be directed by debutant director Diya Annapurna Ghosh, whose previous short film was selected for Cannes Film Festival in 2018.
'Bob Biswas', which is slated to be released sometime mid next year will be presented by Red Chillies Entertainment.
