After the debacle of his last venture Aladin, director Sujoy Ghosh is all set with his next venture titled Kahani. Unit sources inform that unlike his earlier films Jhankaar Beats and Home Delivery, this film is a woman oriented subject. It will be an issue based film.
As for the lead role, Sujoy Ghosh has already signed Vidya Balan. As the film is a woman oriented subject, “Sujoy was keen to have an actress who would do justice to the role and hence he chose Vidya Balan for the lead,” says our source.
The film is based in Kolkata and is expected to go on floors in Ocotber this year. Ghosh’s entire pre-production team is in Kolkata preparing for the film. However, everyone is very tightlipped about the entire project. “Sujoy has always been very hush hush about his movies. He does not like to talk about the film till he is completely satisfied with the shoot,” said the source.

Vidya Balan to work in a Yashraj movie

Director Sujoy Ghosh has struck gold and has been signed up for a three-film deal by Yashraj films. Ghosh, who had earlier directed films like Jhankar Beats and Home Delivery, is all set to start work on a woman-oriented subject, in which Vidya Balan will play the lead. The movie will hit the floors in the next few months.

“Though Sujoy’s last two films bombed at the box office, Aditya Chopra thought he had a spark in him and signed him on for a three-film deal.

Incidentally, not many directors have stuck on with YRF and after Gadhvi and Kunal Kohli, YRF needed a couple of directors to make films for them regularly. In the last couple of years, their experiments with Victor Acharya (Tashan) and Jugal Hansraj (Pyaar Impossible) have failed miserably. While Vidya Balan has been roped in for the first film, the rest of the cast is yet to be finalised.”
