Dibyendu Bhattacharya talks about his character in Amazon Prime's Main Monica

Dibyendu Bhattacharya, known for his roles in films like Black Friday and Dev.D and OTT projects like Sacred Games and Criminal Justice, is now earning praise for his role in Amazon Prime Video's latest series, Main Monica. Dibyendu plays the role of Mangu Shetty, aka Mangu Anna, a Mangalorean Udupi Shetty Anna and Dance Bar owner. The show is about the enigmatic beauty, Monica, who everyone in the town is after.

Dibyendu talks about his experience of making Main Monica, saying that the writers, Ranjeet Chitrakar, Amber Wasi, and Paromita Ganguly, who are also the producers, have taken creative and production decisions in harmony. He had known them since 2018, when they were conceptualizing the project and narrated the character of Mangu Anna to him.

Mangu Anna's dance bar is not doing well, and he meets Monica, who brings prosperity to his business. Mangu has a past where he was once a dreaded gangster but has now mellowed down and settled to run the dance bar and live life peacefully. He has immense respect for Monica and associates her with Goddess Laxmi who has brought prosperity to his business. The feeling he has for Monica is of love, respect, and awe, and this is justified with his one-liner "acche ghar ki hai woh".
