Director Sujoy Ghosh says his most talked about film "Durga Rani" which was to happen with superstar Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has taken a back seat.
"'Durga Rani' is on the backburner right now. I like that name I will use that name," Sujoy said.
Apparently it was Aishwarya, who had revealed that Sujoy had narrated her "Durga Rani" and one more film.
The "Kahaani" helmer says he would love to direct the "Sarbjit" actress.
"Its essential to find a right script to excite an actor or actress. Its not about me wanting to work with someone, I still have to go with a script," the filmmaker said.
Ask him if its a thriller or a women centric film, Sujoy says, "It's not a thriller and not really a women centric film. It is unfair to answer anything. I can't talk about it. It is silly to talk about things till they are actually finalized. People will feel he just keeps announcing films."
As of now, Sujoy is quite excited about "Te3n" starring Amitabh Bachchan, Vidya Balan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
The filmmaker has also wrapped up the shoot of his next movie "Kahaani 2," starring Balan and Arjun Rampal.
