Mayanagar, released internationally as Once Upon A Time In Calcutta is a 2021 Bengali-language drama film directed by Aditya Vikram Sengupta. It is the third film by the Indian director and produced by Wishberry Films, in association with For Films, with Catherine Dussart Productions and DUOfilm As. The film had its world premiere at the 78th Venice International Film Festival in September 2021.

Production

The film was shot over a period of two and half months in Kolkata, India.

Initially, Fred Keleman was supposed to shoot the film, which was then titled Memories and My Mother. Later, Gökhan Tiryaki, the collaborator of Nuri Bilge Ceylan came on board as the cinematographer.

The shoot was abruptly interrupted because the production refused to play by the rules of the Federation. The conflict arose when the Federation asked Aditya Vikram to hire its members. Generally, a film shot in Kolkata has to have approximately 70 members from the Federation in its crew. Many directors and production houses have complained that sometimes it gets too much for them to abide by this norm.

Jonaki Bhattacharya, who previously collaborated with Aditya on Labour of Love and Jonaki joined as the executive producer and the production designer. Dutch composer, Minco Eggersman, was the last to creatively come on board and scored the original soundtrack of the film.
