Rituparno postpones film
shoot with Jaya Bachchan
By Subhash K. Jha, Indo-Asian News Service
Mumbai, Sep 2 (IANS) Working with Jaya Bachchan was one of
director Rituparno Ghosh's dreams. But the shoot for his
Hindi-Bengali film "Sunglass" had to be postponed as the actress
has a family crisis to attend to.
Jaya Bachchan was earlier supposed to join Ritu's unit in
Kolkata Sep 1 but the director has now rescheduled the shoot for
November.
Said Ritu: "I was really looking forward to working with Jayadi.
It has been one of my dreams to direct her some day. And now
when I was so close to actually realising my
dream, Jayadi has a family crisis to attend to. Her
mother-in-law is in critical state. Both Amitji and Abhishek are
in London and the entire familial responsibility falls on
Jayadi's shoulder.

"At such a time it would be inhuman of me to
expect her to leave everything in Mumbai and come to Kolkata to
shoot. I thought it better to postpone the schedule. If all goes
well, I'll be shooting with Jayadi in November."
But doesn't this delay mean huge monetary losses for the
small-budget film?
"It doesn't matter. There are considerations far beyond profits
and losses. I can't have Jayadi here, not so soon after she lost
Hrishida (Hrishikesh Mukherjee) who was a father figure for her.
Jayadi is inconsolable. I'd rather let her be and shoot when
she's ready to do so. My relations with the Bachchans go way
beyond one film," said the director.
Jaya is moved by Ritu's considerate conduct. "When I said I was
in no frame of mind to shoot, Ritu readily agreed. I must say it
was very thoughtful of him. Not too many filmmakers would be so
mindful of their actor's state of mind."
