Sujoy Gosh, the director of the much awaited film “Kahaani 2”, tells that Vidya Balan is a power house of talent. Vidya Balan went through a rough patch in her career due to a series of flops, but might she will be bouncing back to the silver screen with her upcoming movie “Kahaani 2”.
“I don’t think one can question her talent. Even her performance in the so called bad films was better than of lot of people I know. Sometimes we all go wrong in choosing scripts. Even I went wrong with ‘Home Delivery’, ‘Aladdin’. I think she chose to do ‘Kahaani’ with the same instinct as other films. Nobody knows whether a film will work or not,” Sujoy told.
Sujoy and Vidya surprised audience with their 2012 sleeper superhit of the year “Kahaani”. Now the duo is back with “Kahaani 2: Durga Rani Singh” that hits cinema houses on December 2.
“While writing the second part of ‘Kahaani’ I only had Vidya in mind. ‘Kahaani’ brand is synonymous with Vidya, it is not synonymous with me.
“Tomorrow the ‘Kahaani’ will change but Vidya will not. It was always Vidya. The kind of character it is, it demanded Vidya. She was the apt choice. It’s a different story and each film has its own demand. This film demanded Arjun Rampal so we had him,” he added.
Sujoy and Vidya are known as one of the best director-actor pairs of Bollywood, but there were reports of a fallout between the two. However, Sujoy says that they are just rubbish.
“There was hardly a fall out, anything that gets patched up in five seconds is not a fall out, it is something extremely stupid and childish. I don’t think we had a fall out, we were little stupid with each other and that cost us one and half year,” he said.
Ask him who acted that way, Ghosh said, “I think both of us. I think it is mature enough of Vidya to come and patch up as I couldn’t do it. It was silly. I wish we had chatted earlier.
“I think both of us were unreasonable. Any relationship whether it’s of a mother-son or husband-wife or friends the moment you start expecting unrealistic things from each other trouble starts. It happens with our loved and closed ones.”
The director, however, says the script of “Kahaani 2” was not the reason behind the fall out. “No it (fall out) had nothing to do with ‘Kahaani 2’. This script came much later,” he added.
Well, whatever the reasons, we’re just glad that “Kahaani 2’ found it’s way to the screens. The first installment of the movie left everyone on the edge of their seats and we hope the sequel does the same.
