again, and I had also expressed my desire to do a film based on Aranyer Din Ratri. People just co-related it all!”

Ghosh, who first plans to “contemporarise” the story of the 60s novel without killing its spirit, says that he hasn’t even written the script for it, forget planning the cast. “Why would Vidya or Amitabh Bachchan agree to do a film without even reading the script?” he asks.

Ghosh has earlier worked with Big B in Aladin (2009), and recently roped him to sing the famous Tagore song, Ekla Cholo Re, in Kahaani.
