Roopa Ganguly, the lady who won many hearts because of her portrayal of the immortal character Draupadi in B. R Chopra's Mahabharat in the 80's is making a comeback to the small screen. After Mahabharat, Roopa did a couple of insignificant films and also tried her hand at Bengali films, where she did a handful of critically acclaimed films. Now Roopa is all set to return to the small screen with Anurag Basu's latest show Love Story.
Anurag Basu confirms the news and says, "Yes we have already started the shooting and Roopa is definitely a part of it. Right from the beginning, I wanted a face which is not like a typical mother and has a great personality. So when we were discussing this character, I immediately thought of Roopa Ganguly. However, I was not sure if she would do it. In fact even when I was narrating the role, I was sure that she would say no.
However to my great surprise, Roopa said yes. In fact she has been traveling for our show regularly. She is a powerhouse performer and I am a huge fan of hers. It is a pleasure to work with her. The character is of a modern mother and Roopa is looking fabulous in the role. I don't want to reveal anything about the story as it is too early but you all will see it once it comes on air."
Commenting on his return to television, Anurag says, "It is not that it is like my huge comeback or anything. I agree that my production company has not been active after Manzelein Aapni Aapni as I had been busy with my films. But, now we are back. This show is a violent love story and is similar to the kind of films I have made recently. The show has a new couple and Farhaaz Khan apart from Roopa in the show. So, whenever I get time, I direct the show or else I have two directors Siddarth and Ravi Davla to direct for me."
