Noted film director Srijit Mukherji tied the knot with Bangladeshi actress-model-development worker Rafiath Rashid Mithila at a simple ceremony here on Friday.
The period drama "Gumnaami" deals with the three theories behind Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's death.
National Award-winning filmmaker Srijit Mukherji has questioned a tweet by Press Information Bureau that claims August 18 is Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's death anniversary. If we put a definite date to Bose's demise, we accept the plane crash theory is the true explanation of his death, he pointed out.
With Prosenjit Chatterjee in the titular role, the film is scheduled to go on floors in 2019.
Bengali film industry's powerhouse performer, Rituparna Sengupta's hard-hitting performance as a madam of a brothel resonated well with critics and audiences alike in 'Rajkahini'. It released in October 2015, made it to 19 film festivals and was a commercial hit.
Director Srijit Mukherji says actress Vidya Balan initially declined to be a part of "Rajkahini" but he decided to approach her again for the Hindi remake, "Begum Jaan".
Vidya Balan will be seen mouthing expletives in her upcoming film "Begum Jaan", but the actress says she was comfortable with that as it was the demand of the character.
Vidya Balan plays a brothel's madam in ‘Begum Jaan’, a film set in the backdrop of India's Partition in 1947.
Bollywood actress Pallavi Sharda wasn't intimidated while working with Vidya Balan in upcoming film "Begum Jaan" and says she observed the "Kahaani" star a lot on sets.
Jointly produced by Vishesh Films and Play Entertainment, ‘Begum Jaan’ marks Mukherji's directorial debut in Hindi films.
Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan is all praises for Srijit Mukherji's upcoming Bengali crime-drama film titled 'Zulfiqar'.
‘Begum Jaan’, a Hindi adaptation of Mukherji's stellar Bengali offering ‘Rajkahini’, stars Vidya in the lead. She plays a brothel's madam in Punjab during India's Partition in 1947.
The 38-year-old, however, watched shows on Zindagi channel in between the shoot of "Kahaani 2".
