He made a Hindi film in 1989 called 'Bagh Bahadur' that won critical acclaim and then switched to his mother tongue Bengali in pursuing his filmmaking. Award-winning filmmaker Buddhadeb Dasgupta, whose latest work 'Janala' premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival (Tiff), now says he would like to revisit Hindi cinema.'I'll go back to Hindi cinema definitely and I'll surely make Hindi films... but then they'll be only Buddhadeb Dasgupta kind of films and nothing different from that,' Dasgupta told Ians on phone from Kolkata.'There is something at the back of my mind but I haven't put it on paper yet. I am in talks with producers but it will take some time as I don't move ahead until and unless the script is clear. There is nothing that I have planned... I am just letting the idea grow as of now.'Dasgupta said...

Sameera Reddy’s been trying hard to find a footing in Bollywood. But neither romantic heroine roles( ‘Maine Dil Tujhko Diya’) or glam doll roles(like ‘Musafir’) worked for her.
She then turned towards meaningful cinema with talented Bengali director Buddhadeb Dasgupta’s ‘Kalpurush’. The film got critical acclaim but stardom still continues to elude Sameera. Even item songs and an occasional ‘Taxi Number 9211′ did nothing for her.
But the girl’s not giving up yet. Now she’s playing the role of a rustic Rajasthani woman in Nagesh.
