Dibakar
Banerjee
left
on
Tuesday
for
the
Melbourne
International
Film
Festival
where
Love
Sex
Aur
Dhokha
is
being
screened
in
a
special
section
called
'Not
Quite
Hollywood".
He
regrets
not
having
his
producer
Ekta
Kapoor
along.
Immersed
in
the
release
of
her
new
film
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbai,
Ekta
has
regrettably
given
the
an
honor
a
miss.
But
Dibakar
has
a
very
special
gift
for
his
producer.
A
new
love
story
written
specially
for
Ekta"s
Balajee
Films,
presented
to
her
as
a
belated
birthday
present
(Ekta
turned
a
year
older
on
June
7).
Irresistible
is
how
Dibakar
Banerjee
describes
his
collaboration
with
Ekta
Kapoor.
After
the
luminously
lauded
LSD
the
unlikely
twosome
Dibakar
and
Ekta
are
all
set
to
come
together
again
for
what
promises
to
be
the
most
intense
love
story
of
2011.
At
home
with
his
daughter
Ira,
Dibakar
now
is
in
domesticated
and
mellow
frame
of
mind.
He
has
been
quietly
penning
the
love
story
for
his
demanding
producer.
Says
Dibakar,
“See,
Ekta
is
dream
producer.
When
we
came
together
for
LSD
we
never
thought
we"d
be
able
to
work
so
well
together.
She
gave
me
a
free
rein.
I
was
in
a
totally
happy
frame
of
mind
making
LSD.
Even
if
its
impact
was
not
what
it
is,
I"d
have
still
gone
back
to
Ekta
to
make
a
film".
Ekta
had
a
pre-condition
for
Dibakar.
“She
wanted
me
to
return
to
her
only
when
I"ve
a
true
blue
love
story
to
make".
The
love
story
will
go
on
the
floors
in
the
second-half
of
2011.
For
now
Dibakar
watches
LSD
acquire
a
life
of
its
own.
He
leaves
for
Melbourne
where
LSD
is
being
screened
along
with
Aamir
Khan"s
Peepli
Live
and
Abhishek
Choubey"s
Ishqiya
in
the
'Not
Quite
Hollywood" section.
Says
the
enthused
director,
“It
is
quite
a
triumph
for
Indian
cinema
to
have
different
kind
of
films
being
recognized.
But
we
have
a
long
struggle
ahead".
Dibakar
and
LSD"s
associate
producer
Priya
Aven
would
also
be
participating
in
a
discussion
on
digital
cinema.
And
if
you
think
Dibakar"s
trip
to
Melbourne
is
only
about
the
business
of
cinema
he"s
also
taking
his
wife
and
daughter
Ira
to
Melbourne.
“If
I
don"t
find
ways
of
spending
time
with
Ira
I"d
soon
be
left
with
no
time
for
her",
grumbles
dad
Dibakar.
