Filmmaker Pradeep Sarkar says he is still waiting for the right script to approach actor Vidya Balan, who made her debut with his film "Parineeta" in 2005.
There were reports that the director has approached her for a film on Binodini Dasi, a 19th century courtesan, who went on to reign the theatre scene in Kolkata for a decade.
When asked about that, Sarkar said he hasn't discussed that project with Vidya.
"In fact, we had discussed a film called Devi Chaudhurani long time back, not now. But nothing happened on that front. As of now, I have not really discussed a new idea with her. I haven't come up with a subject like that," Sarkar told PTI.
The filmmaker, who last helmed Kajol starrer "Helicopter Eela", will soon announce a film project.
"I am working on two-three scripts and projects together. I am running really mad handling them. I will soon make an announcement on what I'm working on."
