Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu starrer Badla will hit the screens on March 8. Ahead of its release, director Sujoy Ghosh spoke to Mumbai Mirror about his expectations from the film, working with Amitabh and Shah Rukh Khan and the possibility of working with Kahaani actor Vidya Balan again.
Answering the question of what it is like working with Amitabh, he said, “It was any director’s dream to work with the veteran actor”.
On the issue of how involved were Shah Rukh and Amitabh in the project, he said that they fully into it. In fact, both worked like “crazy individuals” and pushed him to work harder. “Very involved. Bachchan sir and he work like crazy individuals and pushed me to work harder.”
On working with Vidya Balan, Sujoy said that if he had a script for her, then he would definitely work with the actor. It may be recalled that the two reportedly had a fall-out after Kahaani.
“When I chose to enter films, this is something I had signed up for as it’s a part of our profession. It’s like making films but expecting people to not criticise your work. Since I want to be in limelight, people will write about me, that’s a given. Tomorrow, if I have a script for Vidya, we will definitely work together.”
Badla is a murder mystery that brings together Pink’s lead actors in the role of a lawyer and an accused.
