Haven’t discussed a film with Vidya: 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. 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 will soon announce a film project. (PTI)
