Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Bidita Bag at the Trailer Launch Of Babumoshai Bandookbaaz on 11th July 2017.
On Tuesday, Director Kushan Nandy spoke to reporters about the truth behind Chitrangda Singh’s walk out during the film Babumoshai Bandookbaaz’s trailer launch.
Kushan Nandy stated, “She had the script since past year and half, the script had all the details. And if after that she had any objections and problems I can’t do anything about it, I can’t force her to work. She did not back out of the film due to intimate scenes in the movie, those scenes were already shot. She felt the story had some gaps, the plot had holes and she wished we would change it. It was her decision and its ok.”
He further added, “I am really glad the way it turned out and the situation we are in. I am happy to have Bidita Bag on board; she really worked well with us.”
Kushan Nandy also spoke about the obstacles faced during the shoots in Bengal, “After we started shooting, we found out about the federation worker law in Bengal. That caused us a lot of problems, and if we had continued shooting there we would have faced more problems so we decided to come back. I think it was for best because the landscape we found in UP fits best with the film.”
