Mumbai: Contrary to reports that Sujoy Ghosh will complete Rituparno Ghosh's 'Satyanweshi', the buzz is that the late director's long-standing cinematographer Aveek Mukhopadhyay would supervise the post-production work.
Sujoy, who plays popular Bengali sleuth Byomkesh Bakshi in the film, said: "Firstly, 'Satyanweshi' is complete, so there is no question of me or anyone else associated with the film completing the film. So we're basically looking at the post-production work."
He is yet to complete the dubbing for 'Satyanweshi'.
"I don't know how I'll do it without Ritu to handle my faulty Bangla. Secondly, Aveek understood Ritu's vision far better than me. He has been Ritu's DOP (Director Of Photography) in seven-eight of his most recent films, including 'Chokher Bali' and 'Chitrangda'," said the director-actor....

Mumbai: Rituparno Ghosh was paranoid about his sexuality. Through experience he had learnt to be cautious about sending out the wrong signals to actors. He was often afraid of reaching out to actors, specially in Bollywood who, he felt, would read a wrong signal. Ritu and I would often laugh over Bollywood's homophobia. Once he went to meet this iconic superstar at his iconic residence where his bratty son came...
