It is a real shame that Sushant will not be doing 'Fitoor' because I was most looking forward to this film among the projects he is doing. Pip was an author-backed role, it is definitely a set back for Sushant. I wish the dates could be adjusted. I am sure Abhishek would have locked dates for the film around Katrina's schedule, and considering the film has already been so delayed that anymore delays would have meant her opting out. It is no rocket science to figure out who is star between Sushant and Katrina, and obviously like any director Abhishek chose the star. I hope in future Sushant gets to work with both Abhishek and Katrina without any comprises required to be made.
I really, really hope Shekhar Kapur does no more dilly dallying and makes Paani as fast as possible. I was surprised to know through an article that he was still writing the screenplay, what has he been doing all these years sitting on this project. I just hope the decision to choose Paani proves fruitful for Sushant. Both Shekhar and Abhishek are talented but lousy directors. Their films just keeps on delaying and postponing. AK took a long time to make Kai Po Che, even Fitoor has been delaying from its original schedule of September. Shekhar too is tortoise in getting projects done. I think I should be most excited about Detective Byomkesh Bakshi, Dibakar Banerjee announced his project last but is making his film much before Shekhar and Abhishek.
