Director Sujoy Ghosh has revealed why Abhishek Bachchan was solid rather than actor Shashwat Chatterjee within the upcoming movie Bob Biswas. Chatterjee performed a contract killer within the 2012 story, however Bachchan will play the function within the spin-off directed by Diya Annapurna Ghosh and slated for a ZEE5 launch on December 3.
Sujoy Ghosh cited the instance of filmmaker Satyajit Ray reprising the identical character in numerous movies, and stated that if he had directed Bob Biswas, he would have retained Chatterjee within the function. “I’m saying that it isn’t unattainable to recreate the world of Bob Biswas the place Saswata, who performed Bob earlier, might be solid. In truth, if I used to be directing the movie, Saswata would have been an choice, however Diya is directing the movie and that is the selection she made. He has an angle in the direction of the movie. Our concept is to make a brand new movie during which Bob’s world is totally different from what we’ve got seen within the story.”
He additional added, “It was a very conscious decision to cast a new actor to play the role of Bob Biswas because I wanted to move away from the story, this is not that film. The world of this film is different. It is a new one. The film, which has a stand of its own. Through this film, we have tried to create a whole new world of Bob Biswas, with a fresh new approach to the story. In fact, this is one of the reasons why I directed the film. Didn’t. When Bob was introduced in the last film, his presence was only eight minutes. Now, we have the full story on that.”
Incidentally, an analogous scenario got here to the fore not too long ago when Abhishek was changed within the comedy sequel Bunty Aur Babli 2. Instead Saif Ali Khan was solid together with Rani Mukerji, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sharvari Wagh.
