Pradeep Sarkar denies new film with Vidya Balan

After their successful outing in 2005 with ‘Parineeta’, Pradeep Sarkar is said to be awaiting the right to script to approach Vidya Balan.

Rumours were rife that the two could be collaborating for a film on Binodini Dasi, a 19th century courtesan, who went on to reign the theatre scene in Kolkata for a decade. However, the news has been denied.

Talking to Deccan Chronicle, Sarkar said, “In fact, we had discussed a film called Devi Chaudhurani long time back, not now. But nothing happened on that front. As of now, I have not really discussed a new idea with her. I haven’t come up with a subject like that.”

He added, “I am working on two-three scripts and projects together. I am running really mad handling them. I will soon make an announcement on what I’m working on.”

Last year, Sarkar worked on Kajol’s film ‘Helicopter Eela’, which proved a letdown at the box office.
