In 2013, four
directors came together to commemorate 100 years of Indian Cinema, and they
made critically acclaimed film Bombay Talkies. The film was an ensemble of four
short films based on the theme of cinema that starred Rani Mukerji, Randeep
Hooda, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Ranvir Shorey and Saqib Salim directed by Dibakar
Bannerjee, Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap and Karan Johar. All the stories were
masterpieces in themselves with brilliant performances from each actor. Now four years later the quartet is coming back with a sequel to Bombay
Talkies with all new stories to tell this time around. There are already
reports of Bhumi Pednekar and Neil Bhoopalam roped in for the film by Zoya
Akhtar, the fresh news is that joining the cast will be Rasika Dugal who plays
a pivotal character in the film. The actress was last seen in Nikhil Advani's
magnum opus drama POW - Bandhi Yudh Ke and now next she will be seen with
Nawazuddin Siddiqui in Manto which is set to be directed by Nandita Das. Rasika is all excited
with these new developments in her career and is looking forward to work with
Zoya Akhtar who is one of the few brilliant woman directors country has.
When asked Rasika she said, "This is the first time I'm working with Zoya.
She had watched my short film Chutney where she really liked my part and she
called me to congratulate me for the award the film won and then she asked if I
would be willing to play a part in her upcoming project. I was overjoyed
because she one of the directors you want to work with. She's one of those
directors who has the talent to have a very good mix between making a film of a
high scale and great content. I have always admired her work, I was pretty
thrilled when she called me for the part in Bombay Talkies 2. We shot end of
last month and the shoot was for around 5 days"
