Tollywood actress Srabanti Chatterjee is set to reprise her role as 'Thakuma' (Grandmother/Storyteller) in the second season of the OTT platform Hoichoi's popular Bengali folklore series Thakumar Jhuli.
Appearing in a red gown at Hoichoi's flagship announcement event in Kolkata on Wednesday (September 30, 2026), the 39-year-old actress confirmed her return following the commercial success of the first season released in March. While the original season was helmed by Ayan Chakraborty, the upcoming second season will be directed by Joydeep Mukherjee. Actress Dibyani Mondal returns to portray the role of the granddaughter. The event also carried a poignant note as attendees remembered actor Rahul Banerjee, who featured in the debut season prior to his passing. Expressing her enthusiasm at the star-studded OTT gala, Chatterjee highlighted how continuous investment in traditional Bengali storytelling enriches the regional entertainment landscape.
