Rajatava in Ranbir-Katrina film
Zinia Sen,TNN | Jan 17, 2014, 12.00 AM ISTRajatava Dutta
He
might be going great guns in Bollywood, but at heart, Anurag Basu
remains a bhaate-maachhe bangali. Not surprisingly, therefore, the
director has roped in Tolly actor Rajatava Dutta for an important role
in the Ranbir Kapoor-Katrina Kaif starrer 'Jagga Jasoos'.
The director, who catches a lot of Tollywood movies in his free time,
is clued into the goings-on of the Bengali film industry. Anurag's last
film, 'Barfi!', starred three Bengali actors " the late Haradhan
Bandopadhyay, Roopa Ganguly and Jisshu Sengupta.
Confirming the news to us, Anurag said, "Yes, Rajatavada is there in my film. He is a great actor and I wanted to work with him for long." But the director is as tight-lipped about the role as the actor himself. Rajatava, who reached Mumbai on Thursday morning, told us, "I don't know about the role. I have always admired Anurag's work and when he said, 'Come over, we'll have fun', I didn't think twice. Frankly speaking, I'm yet to go through the script. Also, Anurag is fond of improvising a lot."
The film is already on the floors and Anurag said he is "shooting in instalment". Rajatava too is expected to join work at the earliest. Meanwhile, there might be other Bengali actors in the film, but Anurag told us, "I'm yet to finalize them."
Jagga Jasoos is reportedly a comedy-mystery film revolving around a high school student and his escapades. It's the muchtalked-about lead pair's third film after 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani' and 'Raajneeti'.
