Vidya Balan's next, Begum Jaan, which is a Hindi remake of
Rajkahani, a Bengali movie, is seemingly in trouble after three department
heads left the project.
Apparently, cinematographer Ravi K Chandran, production
designers Amit Ray and Subrata Chakraborty and costume designer Payal Saluja,
have quit the movie because the makers were cutting corners. The makers of the movie
changed the film's location from Punjab to Hyderabad and then Rajasthan and
finally to Kolkata. The three HODs of the movie seemingly felt that the quality
of the movie was being compromised and hence they left the project. Film's
co-producer, Vishesh Bhatt but, clarified that Chandran left the project due to
personal reasons. In the meantime, the makers have started looking for their
replacements.
The movie is set in the aftermath of the Partition of India
and focuses on how it affects 11 women who live in a brothel. Balan, who
recently wrapped up shooting of Kahaani 2, plays the brothel's madam.
