After two disasters – Home Delivery and Aladin – the Jhankaar Beats director has finally hit gold again
Sujoy Ghosh’s Kahaani has just completed 100 days at the BO and that is no mean feat, considering the fact that few films these days manage to outstay their opening weekends. There have been rumours galore about the sequel and the language remakes of the Vidya Balan-starrer. We heard from the makers that most of the stories floating through the gossip-sphere are true. Kahaani is indeed being remade in Tamil, Telugu and English, and Sujoy will be helming the sequel.

The Kahaani director also says his last film Aladin flopped because he didn’t engage the viewers
It’s not easy to take the responsibility of failures, but Sujoy Ghosh does it and says his Aladin bombed because he failed to narrate an engaging story. Now he has moved on with Kahaani and feels there is no point in fretting over past mistakes. “If a film doesn’t work, the reason is simple – as a director I have failed to tell you a story.

This is one industry where you can learn anything out of failure. It is a waste of time if I sit and post-mortem the reason behind the failures.” Click here to read more
