Sujoy to make Kahaani 2 with Vidya before DRS with Aishwarya

Director Sujoy Ghosh to make 'Kahaani' sequel with Vidya Balan before starting his other project, 'Durga Rani Singh', starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Sujoy Ghosh's long-in-the-planning sequel to his 2012 thriller 'Kahaani' is back on track with Vidya Balan finally coming on board. In 2013, 'Kahaani' co-producer Jayantial Gada reportedly had a tiff with Sujoy over the budget of the project, thereby delaying it.

However, now, we hear that they have trimmed down the budget to take the film on floors in March. This effectively means that his other project, 'Durga Rani Singh', starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will materialise after 'Kahaani 2' is wrapped up.

Says a source, "Sujoy and Gada have sorted their differences and will begin work on the film in March. A formal announcement shall be made after Sujoy wraps up the shoot of Te3n starring Amitabh Bachchan in the lead and Vidya in a special appearance. He wants to make Kahaani 2 before Durga Rani Singh."

Gada, however, plays down the rumours of a tiff with Sujoy. "There were no differences between us, but since the budget that he had in mind seemed way bigger than I would have preferred, the film did not happen. But now, we are surely making the film. Vidya is playing the lead and we cannot think of anyone else playing the role."

He adds: "Vidya got good box office results for the original film and therefore, we should take the brand ahead only with her. But all the creative calls are being taken by Sujoy."

We asked Sujoy when Durga Rani Singh is likely to go on floors, but he did not respond to our text message.

Sujoy is JUST NOT interested in Ash. 😆

Anyways I am glad Vidya patched up with him and they are working together again. I am not very sure if Kahaani2 can match up to Kahaani.

Exactly! I am sure someone held a gun to his head when he approached Ash for Suspect X and DRS, otherwise he wasn't interested in her one bit.

Anyways, excited if it is Kahaani 2.. it is a tough task to live upto the expectations of the first film though.

So its pretty much confirmed:

sujoy ghosh @sujoy_g

aaja.. it's another mother of a story :)

Kahaani was superlative..It is probably the best thriller to come out in recent times and Vidya was phenomenal..I remember being so shocked after watching the climax 😆 Making a sequel is a bad idea..Its tough to match up to the brilliance of Kahaani..I wish they collaborated on something else..Oh well, time will tell i guess..

i don't think this is true he is starting Durga Rani with Vidya not Ash. There's no Kahaani2

Honestly

Wow! Vidya in Kahani 2! ⭐️ It cannot be a sequel but I hope its a gripping thriller like the original one!
