Actor Jisshu Sengupta, famous in Bengali cinema, will star as Vidya Balan’s husband in Shakuntala The Human-Computer
He said, "I am thrilled to be a part of Shakuntala Devi - Human-Computer and to play the role of Paritosh Banerjee. We have started shooting my parts for the film and I have already shot some lovely scenes.”
This is their second film together since the NTR biopic.
About Vidya Balan, he said, “Working with Vidya is always so much fun. On set, there isn't a single dull moment when she is around, we're always laughing and joking. Working with (director) Anu Menon has been great too! She is meticulous, knows exactly what she wants and is extremely patient. It's a great team to work with.”
Shakuntala Devi is being shot in Mumbai.
Director Anu Menon said, “In Jisshu, we found our perfect Paritosh Banerjee - a rare mix of poise and intensity! Vidya and he make a wonderful pair - bursting into loud laughter every few seconds (off-screen) - their chemistry is to watch out for."
The film also stars Amit Sadh and Sanya Malhotra. It will hit theatres in summer of 2020.
