Noti Binodini pushed to 2021

Pradeep Sarkar’s Noti Binodini has been pushed to 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic. The director, in a recent interaction with Mid-day, revealed that the film is only expected to go on floors after March 2021. He said that the writing is in progress, but he is yet to finalize other details.

Pradeep Sarkar said that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has given a nod to the project, but he has not yet approached other actors as he is waiting for the situation to tame down a bit. He added that he hopes the COVID 19 vaccine will be developed by March so that they can start shooting for the film right after.

Speaking about his plans until Noti Binodini goes on floors, Pradeep Sarkar said that he is simultaneously developing a psychological thriller and a dark comedy film. He revealed that these two scripts are ready but he has been unable to give the actors a proper narration of the scripts through video calling apps. Hence, the director has been waiting for things to ease up a little so that he can go ahead with the narration to actors. He also indicated that he might start working on one of these scripts before Noti Binodini film in 2021.
