/> Rituparno Ghosh who has the singular honour of having worked with the entire Bachchan parivar in different projects, now wants to cast Shweta in a film.

"I don't know if she'd agree. But I find Shweta's face and body language very interesting. I've seen her on television and I intend to approach her soon.

As for having directed all three Bachchans, and Ash I never thought of them in a package. Ash was cast in Chokher Bali at a time when she was far from being the Bachchan bahu."

In fact there's an enormously interesting co-incidence binding Aishwarya 's presence in Chokher Bali with the acrtress' impending status as the Bachchan bahu. When Jaya went jewellery shopping with Ritu for Ash in Kolkata the measurements for the Bahu's bangles were already with Ritu.

"The same jewellers who designed Ash's bridal jewellery in Chokher Bali has done the designs for Ash's wedding jewellery. So it was like re-visiting my art through a situation where my heroine jumped out of the screen into a real-life situation."

The jeweller in Kolkata brought all his designs to Ritu's residence where Jaya picked and green-lighted the ones she wanted.

Says Ritu, "It'd have been impossible for Jaya-di to shop in Kolkata. I remember the harrowing time I had shooting with her on location for Sunglass...Abhishek was cast in Antar Mahal, Jaya in Sunglass and now Amit-da in The Last Lear because they fitted the roles perfectly. I want to cast them repeatedly, but not because they're who they are."

The last four days of the film's shooting in Mussourri went like a charm.

Laughs Ritu, "Considering Amit-da was so stressed about the wedding and all that, he was in his element. He made all of us roar with his sense of humour. Often Preity who dresses up in traditional saris and bindis for the first time, would take a little time in getting ready.

Amitji would sit right there on the road and regale us with his wit. Shooting with him has been the easiest experience in the world. And watching his effortless professionalism everyone else in the cast just followed suit."
