For filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh, the Big B is as essential to his cinema as the air he breathes. But Kahaani 2, which opens next month doesn’t seem to have room for the Big B.

“Kya karoon? I cannot think of making a film without Sir (Amitabh Bachchan). When I directed Aladin, Sir starred in it. He sang Ekle Chalo Re for Kahaani. He starred in Te3n, which I produced. He is not in the cast of Kahaani 2. But I have to find a way of including him in my film. Otherwise, it doesn’t seem complete.”

Sujoy feels it is important to ensure the Big B is not misused in cinema. “I know he loves me so much that he’d do anything I ask him to, in Kahaani 2. Which is exactly why I need to make sure I don’t compromise him in any way.”
