Bollywood’s first detective hero in making





Movie connoisseurs have a unique cinema experience in store for them in the coming months as producer Kavita Barjatya is all set to showcase Hindi Cinema’s very unique suspense adventure genre or story or saga.
Helming one of Hindi cinema's most ambitious projects is Kavita Barjatya who has been spearheading this film of a very new exciting and different genre. This also may see the dawn of a new wing of Rajshri Productions (P) Ltd. She is the driving force behind ‘Samrat and Co'  which will be the very first dedicated detective franchisee in Bollywood.
Kavita Barjatya is the granddaughter of legendary film producer late Shri Tarachandji Barjatya and the daughter of Tarachandji’s eldest son Shri Kamal Kumar Barjatya. The multiple award-winning Kavita launched the Rajshri TV Division and ran it successfully for eight years and took up and has now taken up the responsibility of carrying forward the legacy and values that Rajshri has upheld over the years.
Specially targeting India’s young audiences, Kavita Barjatya has embarked on bringing to Bollywood, the first of its kind detective franchisee, wherein the very nuances of crime solving, human nature and the world of standalone private investigators will be presented on the big screen on a pure entertainment platform.
Says Producer Kavita Barjatya, “Today is a wonderful time for cinema. People are ready to accept different stories, different genres, different characters and a different treatment. Today we can tell the story which we wish too and not be caught up in boundaries of formulas. We have also seen that the uniqueness of the concept is the driving force in today’s films. When Kaushikji (Ghatak) narrated me a couple of subjects, this one really excited me. I have known and worked with Kaushik ji since 2004. He has directed most of my tv shows and they were all landmarks. Hope to create the magic on big screen now. It’s going to be a challenge to cater to the typical Rajshri's family audiences as well as today’s youth.
‘Samrat and Co’ is directed by Kaushik Ghatak and produced by Kavita Barjatya under her banner Rajshri Productions (P) Ltd. 
Director Kaushik Ghatak’s unique vision for introducing Hindi cinema’s first Detective film aims to present the exceptional world of private investigators who utilize their raw intelligence and limited resources to solve their cases a la the inimitable Sherlock Holmes!
Speaks the director on the film, “Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Feluda, Byomkesh Bokshi, etc were my best friends since childhood, of course through their books. I have grown up with this genre. Their adventures always fascinated me… For a very long time I wanted to create a detective in our very own Bollywood cinema…but in our own style which is apt for our entertainment - loving Hindi movie goers. Thanks to Kavitaji, with whom I have shared a long and wonderful working relationship, for understanding this new kind of cinema and making it happen.
In a year that marks the 100 years of Indian cinema, this is fantastic news for all you movie lovers out there.
Watch out for more updates on Bollywood's first detective film franchise coming soon.
