Was Durga Rani Singh falsely implicated? Who is the real culprit? That’s
what Vidya Balan’s latest message indicates about her upcoming thriller Kahaani
2 along with the release date of the trailer- October 25, 2016.
Few days back, the makers had released a teaser which
showed a news reader making a ‘Wanted’ announcement for Durga Rani Singh,
played by Vidya Balan.
The versatile actress yet again goes de-glam in this one. Kahaani 2 will be
directed by Sujoy Ghosh.
In its prequel-Kahaani, Vidya played a pregnant woman who was out on a search
for her missing husband. The film which was also directed by Sujoy Ghosh
received lot of accolades from the mass and the critics. It registered good
numbers at the BO.
In Kahaani 2, Vidya is playing a 36 year old ‘wanted’ fugitive, Durga Rani
Singh.
A sequel to the 2012 film Kahaani, the film also features Arjun Rampal in lead
role. The film was shot between March 2016 and May 2016. It is scheduled to
release on December
2, 2016.
Coming to her other projects, Vidya Balan has commenced doing her homework to
master the mannerism of Indian-English writer Kamala Surayya. Vidya is playing
the revolutionary poetess in a bilingual biopic, to be directed by national
award-winning Malayalam director Kamal.
The Malayalam-English movie will also feature South-Indian actor Prithviraj,
who has worked opposite Rani Mukerji in 2012-flick, Aiyyaa.
Surayya, who wrote in English as Kamala Das, had changed her name to Kamala
Surayya after embracing Islam a few years before her death in 2009. Her work
was considered bold and unconventional as it questioned the hypocrisies of the
society.
The most sensational, and arguably widely read of all of them, is her memoirs
Ente Katha (My story), which was initially propagated as her real-life story,
but she herself clarified later that it was just an “imaginary work.”
Her other major works are Childhood Memoirs, Summer in Calcutta, Alphabet of
Lust, Descendants and collected poems.
Produced by Kushal Kantilal Gada, Dhaval Jayantilal Gada,
Aksshay Jayantilal Gada and Sujoy Ghosh, Kahaani 2 - Durga Rani Singh,
Screenplay & Directed by Sujoy Ghosh and presented by Jayantilal Gada (pen)
is scheduled to release on 2nd December 2016.
