Haven't Discussed A Film With Vidya Balan: Pradeep Sarkar
Filmmaker Pradeep Sarkar says he is still waiting for the right script to approach actor Vidya Balan, who made her debut with his film Parineeta in 2005.
Filmmaker
Pradeep
Sarkar
says
he
is
still
waiting
for
the
right
script
to
approach
actor
Vidya
Balan,
who
made
her
debut
with
his
film
Parineeta
in
2005.
There
were
reports
that
the
director
has
approached
her
for
a
film
on
Binodini
Dasi,
a
19th
century
courtesan,
who
went
on
to
reign
the
theatre
scene
in
Kolkata
for
a
decade.
When
asked
about
that,
Sarkar
said
he
hasn't
discussed
that
project
with
Vidya.
"In
fact,
we
had
discussed
a
film
called
Devi
Chaudhurani
long
time
back,
not
now.
But
nothing
happened
on
that
front.
As
of
now,
I
have
not
really
discussed
a
new
idea
with
her.
I
haven't
come
up
with
a
subject
like
that," Sarkar
told
PTI.
The
filmmaker,
who
last
helmed
Kajol
starrer
Helicopter
Eela,
will
soon
announce
a
film
project.
"I
am
working
on
two-three
scripts
and
projects
together.
I
am
running
really
mad
handling
them.
I
will
soon
make
an
announcement
on
what
I'm
working
on."
Sarkar
has
currently
shot
Neel
Samandar,
a
music
video
featuring
Richa
Chadha
and
Ankit
D'souza.
Backed
by
Dancing
Shadows
Productions,
the
video
is
shot
in
Andaman
islands.
The
filmmaker
said
shooting
the
video,
in
which
Richa
features
as
an
Andaman
tribe
member,
was
challenging.
"It
was
extremely
tough
to
shoot
in
Andaman.
No
one
has
really
shot
there
so
the
overall
infrastructure,
we
had
to
do.
We
took
all
we
could
from
Mumbai
and
other
places
to
set
it
up
there.
It
was
really
channelling
to
pull
this
off."
