Kolkata is not only Howrah
Bridge or Victoria memorial.
It's the people which you meet
in Kolkata which makes it
special. We shot everywhere in
Kolkata. I don't think we've left a single by-lane of Kolkata
where we didn't shoot the film.
The film is about Vidya's
character searching for her
missing husband so most of the
time we shot on the streets of Kolkata to give the film an
authentic feel.
There are 2 heroes in
the film- Vidya and Kolkata.
Vidya I know very well and
Kolkata I know better than
Vidya.
