Sujoy Ghosh wants Vidya Balan with Amitabh Bachchan in his next film!

Bollywood filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh is on a cloud nine these days and it all happened after the stupendous success of his film ‘Kahaani’, which was recently released on March 9. The main reason behind the film’s success was Vidya Balan and perhaps this is a reason why the director now wants to cast her once again and this time he wants Amitabh Bachchan in a role opposite to her.

“I can’t see myself making any films without them. Aranyer Din Ratri is a deep novel. I want to take my cinema beyond Kahaani now,” said Ghosh.

Ghosh previously casted Mr. Bachchan in his film ‘Aladin’, which was released almost three years back in 2009. Though the film failed to do any business at the box office, he is confident that with Mr. Bachchan and Balan, his upcoming project would do a great business.

Ghosh made his debut with ‘Jhankaar Beats’ back in 2003 and the film did an excellent business at the BO. However, his other two film ‘Home Delivery: Aapko… Ghar Tak’ and ‘Aladin’ sank at the box office without any trace. Nevertheless, ‘Kahaani’ has once again brought him back under the main lights and now he wants to retain his audiences.

“At the moment I’m just enjoying the recognition that has come to me. I’ve waited so long for it. I’m in Kolkata and I see the expectations in people’s eyes. I’ve to go beyond ‘Kahaani’ now. “I’ve to live with the novel ‘Aranyer Din Ratri’ for at least six months. I have to see where I can take it. After all it’s been done by Ray before. And Gautam Ghose also made a sequel ‘Abar Aranye’ in 2003 to the Ray film. “So I’ll have to route the novel in a completely different direction,” said Ghosh.

Well, all said and done, let’s see if he really gets Amitabh Bachchan and Vidya Balan for his upcoming film because their being together in a film will certainly do a lot for Ghosh.
