Interesting facts

Shotyi Bole Shotyi Kichhu Nei, later known with the parenthesis If Truth Be Told, and also known by the initialism SBSKN, is a 2025 Indian Bengali-language surrealist legal thriller film written and directed by Srijit Mukherji. Produced by Shrikant Mohta and Mahendra Soni under the banner of Shree Venkatesh Films, the film is an official adaptation of the 1986 Hindi film Ek Ruka Hua Faisla, which is itself a remake of the American film 12 Angry Men (1957) directed by Sidney Lumet, which was an adaptation from a 1954 teleplay of the same name by Reginald Rose.

Production

Srijit Mukherji was actively involved with the English professional theatre circuit in Delhi and Bengaluru besides working as an economist and statistician. Thus in 2006, Srijit Mukherji had adapted Twelve Angry Men, under the title as Mindgame, which was also directed by himself at Alliance Française De Bangalore the same year. After making his directorial debut with Autograph in 2010, he had planned to make a film on it.

In December 2023, it was reported that Mukherji was reworking on the shelved project entitled as Shotyi Bole Shotyi Kichhu Nei. It was officially announced in February 2024, under the production of Shree Venkatesh Films. The muharat of the film held on 4 March 2024, where Mukherji considered the film to be his dream project.

Anjan Dutt approached for the role which he was to portray in Dozen, but he had to decline it as he thought that his real age might mismatch with the character. Then Kaushik Ganguly came on the board, reuniting with Mukherji eleven years after Chotushkone in 2014, where he had a guest appearance.

In February 2024, Anirban Chakrabarti and Phalguni Chatterjee joined the film. The character which was to be portrayed by Rituparno Ghosh before, was reported having Anirban Bhattacharya in it. Chiranjeet Chakraborty, who was rumoured to be a part of the film, got replaced by Kaushik Sen. In May 2024, Adrit Roy was reported to feature in the film, which was later proved to be a rumour.

The initial cast when Mukherji intended to make this film was (respectively according to juror no.) Kaushik Ganguly, Srijato, Anjan Dutt, Dipankar De, Ritwick Chakraborty, Kanchan Mullick, Swastika Mukherjee, Rituparno Ghosh, Manoj Mitra, Rudranil Ghosh, Biswajit Chakraborty and Roopa Ganguly.
