Come April 2012, and it will be an august return to the mega screen. For Jaya Bachchan, that is.
The power-house actress who last illumined the screen as scion Abhishek's mother in Drona(2008), is all set to greenlight Rituparno Ghosh's Taank Jhaank, a satirical flick centred around magic surrealism.
Although the Senior Bachchan (The Last Lear) and Junior (Antar Mahal) have sampled the directorial expertise of Ghosh, Jaya is yet a stranger to it. Until now, that is.
Reportedly, Jaya Bachchan is all set to share frames with Naseeruddin Shah, making it a premier pairing of the artistes.
Distributor Sunil Bohra told the scribe-tribe, "Jayaji hasn't done a film since quite a while and she has never done a film with Naseeruddin Shah. Considering that they share common sensibilities, I find it very strange. Although I have not seen any Rituparno Ghosh film until now, I simply loved the concept of Taank Jhaank. "
