Shoojit Sircar and
living legend Amitabh Bachchan have collaborated to create cinema
magic with 'Piku'. Mr Bachchan has always
lauded Sircar's filmmaking and the latter, in awe of his muse, has
worked on some memorable ads with him too. It is only natural that their next
project together promises creative & cinematic brilliance.
Sircar and
partner Ronnie Lahiri, under the banner of Rising Sun Films are
collaborating with Mr Bachchan on a social thriller to be
directed by National award winner Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury.
Speaking
about the project, Mr Bachchan said, "Working
with Shoojit & his team is always a pleasure. When I heard this
story, I was drawn to it immediately. It's got a social message subtly weaved
in an engaging story.Being a part of such important stories satisfies
me."
Sircar,
who makes inherent Indian realities into entertaining, universal
cinema, spoke about his decision to turn producer here. He said,
"Aniruddh's story was so compelling that I wanted to make this film
immediately. We also wanted to make it in Hindi. Like me, given a chance he
would make all his films with MrBachchan! Naturally he took the script to
him and is both honored & exhilarated that he has
agreed! For us, it's a brilliant start already!"
Ronnie
Lahiri said 'it's always a pleasure to work with Mr Bachchan and I look forward
to working with him again on this film'
Rising

collaboration is bound to bring in another cinematic treat!
