Sushant Singh Rajput who is playing the lead in Dibakar Banerjee's Detective Byomkesh Bakshi seems to have impressed his director and how? On the last day ofDetective Byomkesh Bakshi's shoot, Dibakar who is known for not repeating actors in his films told the reporters, "Sushant is a very matured and a talented actor. For this character I need someone who is young but a matured and an expert actor. Sushant has these qualities and hence he fit the role perfectly."
The Shanghai director further added, "Byomkesh's character in my film is very young and inexperienced, similarly, Sushant is also very young but very intelligent. These similarities between the character and the actor worked big time for me."
With so many praises hurling his way we wonder if the Kai Po Che actor has now become the new poster boy for Dibakar. Sushant who has already signed big films like Aamir Khans P.K. with Rajkumar Hirani and Shekhar Kapur's Paani with Emma Watson and John Trovoltais already on a high and with so many praises from an acclaimed director is just another feather on Sushant's cap. Bollywoodlifers, don't be surprised if you soon hear an announcement of another film where Dibakar will be seen calling the shots for this Shuddh Desi Romance actor.
Sushant Singh Rajput' leading lady in Detective Byomkesh is being kept under wraps. That's the way Yashraj Films likes to keep their projects. However, one learns from a source working on the film that he is paired with Swastika Mukherjee in this period film.
Swastika is best known to create quite a hungama in the Kolkata media -- both through her bold role (in a Bangla film titled Take One about an MMS scandal) and her bindaas statements. The never-say-no actress had many steamy scenes with her co-star.
Apparently, director Dibakar Banerjee and Yashraj Films want to keep Swastika's no-holds-barred image in check. Says the source, "Out there in Bengal, Swastika has a very bold image. In Dibakar's film, Swastika plays a traditional Bengali housewife." The effort, we hear, is to repackage Swastika's image for her Hindi debut as "more of Sharmila and less of Bipasha." Sushant is living in with his girlfriend Ankita Lokhande, with whom he is rumoured to be married, and with his film he gets an on-screen wife as well.
In the past, Dibakar Banerjee who has made National award winning films like Khosla Ka Ghoslaand Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! has mostly worked with small producers and on a very tight budget.Detective Byomkesh Bakshi is a collaboration of Yash Raj Films and Dibakar BanerjeeProductions and is made on an illustrious budget.
In a conversation with Bollywoodlife on the sets of Detective Byomkesh Bakshi, Dibakar confirmed the news saying, "Yes, this is my most expensive film. However, if we compare with other big films that are made with special effects and huge sets, my film is much less expensive than that." The Shanghai director further added, "Since I am quite disciplined and planned I always make sure that things go according to the schedule and there are no hiccups in the path." We don't doubt your ability there Mr Banerjee, considering the budget of your previous films, this is nothing less than a luxury for you. Right peeps?It will be YRF's #ByomkeshBakshi Vs Tserie's & Ranbir's #Roy next coming Valentine release !!!!
