DIBRUGARH: For the first time, Dibrugarh is set to become the backdrop for a full-length Bollywood film. Acclaimed director Amit Rai, known for Oh My God 2, has begun shooting his latest film Senapati, with 90% of the cast and crew reportedly being local talents.

The film, centered around a child and a dog, is being filmed across Dibrugarh and its surrounding areas. Training for the selected artists began on February 9 and shooting is scheduled from February 15 to March 15. A technical team from Mumbai has already arrived. The project is supported by the Assam State Film Corporation and Assam Chamber of Commerce & Industry, with Hungarian cinematographer Mate Herbai as the Director of Photography.

Amit Rai chose Dibrugarh for its rich cultural heritage, scenic beauty, and traditional music and dance forms, along with its stunning landscapes featuring the Brahmaputra, Bogibeel Bridge, and lush tea gardens.

The first scene is being filmed today at Mohanaghat’s Water Resources Colony, marking a milestone for Dibrugarh as it steps into the Bollywood spotlight while celebrating Assam’s vibrant culture.
