Says a source close to the filmmaker, ���Sujoy had a meeting with Soumitrada and requested him to be a part of his venture. Soumitrada, being extremely fond of the director, gave his nod.��� Now it���s left to be seen who will replace Tota Roychoudhury and the adorable Radhika Apte in the short. Sujoy, who is currently shooting Kahaani 2 with Vidya Balan in Howrah, had plenty of options in terms of actors, but told us before, ���If it���s a short, I would like to work with actors from Bengal.��� The short is likely to be Sujoy���s next after Kahaani 2.
