He said he had even wrote the dialogue of the “kothi malkin” in a broken Hindi-Bengali format.
“I wrote the part Hindi-Bengali script for ‘Rajkahini’ keeping in mind Vidya as “Begum Jaan”. However, as Vidya told me she was not doing films at that time, I said not an issue.
I then wrote the entire script in Bangla and if you make such a film in Bengali it has to be none other than Ritu (Rituparna Sengupta),” Srijit explained.
As “Rajkahini” became a critical success, Srijit said, Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt urged him to do a Hindi remake of it and thus was born “Begum Jaan”.
