‘Kahaani’ starring Vidya Balan had many unknown faces in it like Bengali actor Parambrata Chatterjee. The actor had impressed everyone with his performance of a police officer.
However, he won’t be seen in ‘Kahaani 2’. Recently, he revealed that he was offered a part in the movie, but he couldn’t do it due to date issues.
Parambrata told a news agency, “I was offered a certain part in the film but I could not manage dates as I was busy with something else. But I am hoping to do Sujoy’s next after ‘Kahaani 2’.”
Though the actor gave an excellent performance in ‘Kahaani’, he has only done two Hindi films after the 2012 release.
When he was asked why he didn’t do more Bollywood films, the actor said, “Hindi films will obviously give me wider fanbase, but there is umbilical cord connecting me to Bengali cinema like it would connect a Marathi actor to cinema of his state.”
The 36-year-old actor says that though there is more money in Bollywood, he feels closer to the cinema of his state. He said, “This fight that you have to put as regional actors and directors to defend your cinema against the all-engulfing Bollywood, which of course we all enjoy, gives you the sense of being a comrade, it develops greater fondness for films of your state. I would like to do more of Bengali films even though money is less.”
