    Sujoy Ghosh mulls sequel of Jhankaar Beats

    MUMBAI: Sujoy Ghosh has revealed that he was toying with the idea of making a sequel to his 2003 film Jhankaar Beats that he had made for Pritish Nandy Communications (PNC).

    Said Ghosh, “We were thinking of making a sequel from quite some time. Now I have a story, which I would be comfortable turning into a sequel. Jhankaar Beats was made ten years ago and in these 10 years I have gained some experience, having seen enough of life. Now I can share it with all.”

    Ghosh will start with the sequel once he sees the release of his upcoming Vidya-Balan-starrer Kahaani. “I will then focus on the sequel of Jhankaar Beats,” he added.

    Ghosh plans to repeat the same cast for the sequel. “It has to be the same star cast for the sequel. However, for the sequel I want to stick to more of life and less music. You can‘t escape life,” he added. In the original, the focus was on music as it was a tribute to legendary composer Rahul Dev Burman.

    In the 2003-made film, Ghosh had paid a tribute to the late R D Burman by way of him featuring some of the maestro’s good songs in the film. The film starred Juhi Chawla, Sanjay Suri, Rahul Bose, Rinke Khanna, Riya Sen and Shayan Munshi among others.

    Viacom18 to release Kahaani on 9 March, Kolkata premiere a day before

    MUMBAI: Viacom18 will be releasing the Vidya Balan-starrer Kahaani on 9 March.

    Reports in trade papers had said that director Sujoy Ghosh, who had wanted to host a premiere of the film in Kolkata because the film has a Kolkata connection, was aggrieved that it could not be held on 8 March.

    The reason that was attributed was that some prominent Bengali directors and actors whom Ghosh wanted to invite for the premiere would be away for an award ceremony in Bangkok. Slamming such reports, Ghosh quipped,” There is no truth in the news. I will indeed hold the premiere of my film in Kolkata only and on the appointed day and time.”

    Kahaani is the story of Vidya Bagchi who arrives in Kolkata from London to find her missing husband Arnab. Seven months pregnant and alone in a festive city, she begins a relentless search for her husband. With nothing to rely on except fragments from her memories about him, all clues seem to reach a dead end when everyone tries to convince Vidya that her husband does not exist.

    She slowly realises that nothing is what it seems. In a city soaked in lies, Vidya is determined to unravel the truth about her husband – for herself and her unborn child – even at the cost of her own life. The rest forms the crux of the film.
