Director Shoojit Sircar is certain riding a high wave post the success of his last film Vicky Donor, starring Ayushmann Khurrana. Now, although he is busy with 2 films, namely Jaffna and Hamara Bajaj, Shoojit is already planning another film.
The filmmaker has managed a double whammy by getting Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan together for his forthcoming film called Garden House.
Sircar was recently quoted saying that he will be making Garden House with the Bachchan couple and that it's a romantic drama that he plans to start towards the end of the year.
Incidentally, Sircar had earlier made a film with Amitabh Bachchan titled Shoebite, which is yet to see the light of the day.
Shoojit is currently working on the two films for John Abraham's production house.
It had been earlier reported that actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who made his Bollywood debut with Shoojit Sircar's 'Vicky Donor', would be assisting Sircar in his next film 'Jaffna'. However, now it seems that Khurrana might not be able to assist on the film.
Confirming the news, the newbie actor admitted that he had agreed to assist Sircar on 'Jaffna' as he had no other projects in hand at the time when he decided to assist the filmmaker, but now that he has landed a Ramesh Sippy flick and also 'Hamara Bajaj', he would not have time to assist Sirar.
'Jaffna' is a political thriller, which is being produced by John Abraham, who will also star in it and the film is supposed to revolve around the LTTE issues in Sri Lanka.
Ayushmann Khurrana, who made his silver screen debut with Vicky Donor, is set to work with its director Shoojit Sircar's next film Jaffna as an assistant director.
Initially, the actor was supposed to assist Sircar on the entire film but owing to other commitments, he will only work on a part of the film. Jaffna will be shot at the once-troubled city of Jaffna in Sri Lanka.
Jaffna, produced by John Abraham, depicts the LTTE's separatist conflict in Sri Lanka.
Minissha Lamba made her debut in the Hindi film industry with the 2005 film Yahaan. Interestingly, that film also marked the directorial debut of the Vicky Donor director Shoojit Sircar.
Looks like the duo are set to come together after 7 years for the upcoming political thriller Jaffna.
Minissha confirmed that she is in talks with the director. She stated that as of now, she is busy with the Akshay Kumar-Sonakshi Sinha starrer Joker.
She further added that she hopes Shoojit doesn't take another seven years to work with her.
