The Bangla project that Sushmita Sen had been craving has finally materialised. Srijit Mukherjee, who started his career with the hugely successful Bengali film “Autograph” and then went on to make other milestone movies like “Hemlock Society” and “Jaatishwar,” has signed the former beauty queen for his next film.
Srijit said, “It’s a film called “Nirbaak” (speechless). It comprises of four love stories connected by the theme of silence. The stories are intertwined and connected by Sushmita’s character.”
Besides Sushmita, who features in all four stories, “Nirbaak” stars Jisshu Sengupta and Ritwick Chakraborty.
Sushmita has been wanting to do a Bangla film for a very long time. She did Mahesh Manjrekar’s “It Was Raining That Night” in 2005, a remake of the director’s Astitva, but the film was never released. More recently, Sushmita was to feature in Rupali Chatterjee’s “Jodi Emon Hoto,” but the project has now been shelved.
