If Ash-Madhuri can, why Riya and Raima can't?

/> Remember how Sanjay Leela Bhansali defied Saratchandra Cahtterjee's novel and made the purists howl in protest by bringing 'Paro' Aishwarya Rai and 'Chandramukhi' Madhuri Dixit in Devdas together, just so that audiences don't feel cheated about the two two actresses not coming together?

If Raima Sen has her way she too will get her director to redefine a literary work for practical commercial reasons.

Rabindranath Tagore may or may not like it. But Raima will came face to face with her sister Riya Sen in Rituparno Ghosh's adaptation of Tagore's novel Nauka Dubi.

"There's no way the audience will accept me and my sister in the same movie without having scenes together. In the original story our characters don't come together at all. But Riya and I have to come face to face in our first film together."

Raima who's currently working on the sets of two films simultaneously is kicked by the idea of sharing screen space with her sister. "We were supposed to come together earlier in Vicky Chopra's Seasons Greetings. But that didn't work out. It was an episodic film and we just had a small segment to ourselves."

And though the producers have plans to dub Nauka Dubi into Hindi Raima is totally opposed to it.

"I know how strange it sounds when my Bengali films are dubbed into Hindi. It happened with Anuranan and and more recently with Khela. When Pradeep Sarkar when to see Khela he told me he had gone to see a Bengali film. He ended up watching a Hindi film. Rabindranath Tagore's characters will look very strange talking in Hindi."

It was Riya who brought the Nauka Dubi project together.
