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.”

With Pyaar Impossible almost certain for a November 20 release, Paa will now be released on December 4th, sources close to the team say. Paa has a novel concept where in Abhishek plays Amitabh’s father
