Director Sujoy Ghosh, who tasted unprecedented success along with his last film Kahaani earlier this year, has already outfitted to make its sequel. There has been news of actor Vidya Balan, who played the protagonist Vidya Bagchi within the film, reprising her role for the sequel. Sujoy, finally, puts the rumours
to rest by saying, “How am i able to alter the central character of the unique? It’s all about Vidya.”
Sujoy has already started writing the sequel and he maintains that it's going to be a fresh story keeping the central character in mind.
“It could be a continuation of the adventure of Vidya Bagchi,” says Sujoy, who's apparently planning to start out the film by early next year.
The original film followed Vidya, as she navigates her way through chaotic Kolkata to avenge her husband’s murder. Within the quest, she is helped by a cop, and encounters various quirky characters, most famed of them the assassin Bob Biswas. Sujoy is plotting the sequel, too, with Kolkata within the backdrop. “Kolkata will play a particularly important character within the sequel. It’s primarily the city, but we will be able to also shoot in every other parts of the country,” says Sujoy.
The director refrains from giving out any information about the tale. “It’s too early to mention anything in regards to the story. I'M still within the writing stage and the plot changes every day,” he says. Reportedly, Sujoy could also be writing Badla, where Amitabh Bachcan will play the lead. “Badla is definitely not the sequel to Kahaani,” says Sujoy.
