Vijaynagar’er Hirey Teaser Out Now, Kakababu Embarks on a New Adventure

The wait is finally over for fans of Bengali cinema's most beloved adventurer. The teaser for Vijaynagar'er Hirey (The Diamond of Vijaynagar) has officially dropped, sparking a wave of excitement across social media. Prosenjit Chatterjee returns to his iconic role as Raja Roychowdhury, better known as Kakababu, in a journey that promises to blend historical intrigue with high-octane adventure.

Directed by Chandrasish Ray, this upcoming film marks a significant chapter in the Kakababu cinematic universe. Following the massive success of Mishawr Rawhoshyo (2013), Yeti Obhijaan (2017), and Kakababur Protyaborton (2022), the franchise shifts its gaze from the snowy peaks of Africa and the deserts of Egypt to the sun-drenched, boulder-strewn landscapes of Hampi.

A Mystery Carved in Stone

Based on the legendary story by Sunil Gangopadhyay, the plot revolves around a mythical diamond hidden within the ruins of the Vijaynagar Empire. Rumored to be even more magnificent than the Kohinoor, the diamond has remained a secret for centuries-until Kakababu arrives.

The teaser beautifully captures the essence of Hampi's enigmatic ruins. It sets a tone that is equal parts suspenseful and witty. In a standout moment, a character refers to Kakababu as a "living legend." True to his nature, Kakababu dismisses the grand title with a wry, self-aware remark, suggesting that while his status as a "legend" is up for debate, someone is definitely "playing with his life."

The Iconic Trio Returns

One of the most heartwarming aspects of this new installment is the return of the central trio:

Prosenjit Chatterjee as Kakababu: Bringing his signature gravitas and sharp intellect back to the screen.

Aryann Bhowmik as Shontu: Transitioning from the young apprentice to a dependable, intelligent aide.

Pushan Dasgupta as Jojo: Adding a layer of humor and a fresh dynamic to the team's investigation.

The cast is further bolstered by Satyam Bhattacharya and Sreya Bhattacharya, who appear in the teaser as the hosts welcoming the trio to Hampi. Their characters seem to hold the keys to a mystery layered with ancient secrets and modern-day danger.

Production and Release

Vijaynagar'er Hirey is a prestigious joint presentation by SVF Entertainment and Nideas Productions. With Chandrasish Ray at the helm, the film aims to maintain the high production standards and intellectual depth that Sunil Gangopadhyay's readers have cherished for decades.

As the teaser suggests, the film isn't just about finding a gemstone; it's about the "quest" itself--the sharp wit of Kakababu, the camaraderie of his team, and the thrill of the unknown.

Save the Date: The mystery is set to unfold on the big screen on January 23rd, 2026.

Whether you are a lifelong fan of the literature or a newcomer to the film franchise, Vijaynagar'er Hirey looks set to be the first major cinematic event of 2026, proving once again that when it comes to adventure, Kakababu is peerless.
