MUMBAI: Film-maker Sujoy Ghosh, who worked with Amitabh Bachchan in Aladin, says he will definitely work with the megastar in Kahaani 2, a sequel to his successful 2012 thriller Kahaani.
Ghosh told IANS: “Yes, I can assure you that Amitabh Bachchan will be part of Kahaani 2 in some way or the other. His blessings matter a lot to me. I can’t see myself making any films without him.”
Big B had lent his voice for the song Ekla Chalo Re in Kahaani.
The director says he will roll the camera as soon as the script is locked.
When talking about shooting the film, he said, “I will start shooting in a month’s time. I am still scripting the film so I can’t say exactly when I will start shooting. The story will be a continuation from where we left in Kahaani.”
He assures this time Vidya Balan, who played the protagonist in Kahaani to the hilt, will be seen in an action avatar.
“Yes, I am planning to make her do some action sequences in Kahaani 2 but let’s see how things shape up. It’s going to be challenging for me to prove myself again, but I am not thinking about that at all. I am just hoping for the best,” said Ghosh.
Ghosh made Kahaani at a shoestring budget of INR80 million and thanks to the overwhelming response, it changed the director and the producer’s fortune by grossing INR800 million at the box office.
If Vidya was lauded for her stupendous performance in Kahaani, she was aptly supported by the performances of Parambrata Chatterjee and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
