Director Bratya Basu’s upcoming film, ‘Hubba,’ reveals the fascinating story of Hubba Shyamal, a gangster from the late 1990s who ruled with total dominance in the criminal underworld of the Hooghly area. In the movie's first image, acclaimed Bangladeshi actor Mosharraf Karim is seen as Hubba Shyamal and is wearing a marigold garland. The arresting image perfectly conveys the famed gangster's aura of charm and authority.
According to Cine Kolkata, ‘Hubba’ presents a captivating mix of thriller and comedy, exploring the enigmatic criminal life of Hubba Shyamal, who was known as the ‘Dawood Ibrahim of Hooghly.’ His criminal record included murder, drug trafficking, and other heinous crimes, yet he always managed to secure bail despite multiple police cases.
