Kushan Nandy on Jogira Sara Ra Ra: Nawazuddin Siddiqui has become a habit for me

Kushan Nandy’s &39;Jogira Sara Ra Ra&39;, a slice-of-life film about an oddball couple, is a departure from his last outing, &39;Babumoshai Bandookbaaz&39; 2017. The director, weary from the action thriller’s dark theme, says he was more than happy to switch to a lighter subject. “I had exhausted myself with the serious and dark [story]. I wanted to experiment with a fun subject,” he states.
The two movies may be poles apart, but the filmmaker found himself envisioning Nawazuddin Siddiqui as the leading man again. Nandy, who wrapped up &39;Jogira Sara Ra Ra’&39;s shoot in Uttar Pradesh last month, acknowledges that their second collaboration has brought them closer. “Nawaz has become a habit for me. We have an unspoken tuning and understand each other completely. It helps if the director and actor are in sync. I can assure you that the audience hasn’t seen Nawaz in such an avatar before; it’s a quirky role.” The movie features Neha Sharma as Siddiqui’s love interest.
