I was once planning to cast Aishwarya as a politician in Singhasan. I’d love to cast Deepika in that role.” Kalpana isn’t sure Deepika would reciprocate her enthusiasm. “Why should she? I’m a down-and-out filmmaker. I haven’t put a project together in the last three years because of various reasons, the main being finances which a filmmaker like me who suffers a double disadvantage of being woman.” On top of it all, Kalpana has been facing a series of illnesses in her family, first her father and mother then her guru and companion composer Bhupen Hazarika. Kalpana who started as an assistant to Shyam Benegal says she’s very proud of her mentor. “At the ripe old age of 74, Shyam Babu has made a hit film Welcome To Sajjanpur. He had to struggle for years to make this project come true. As for me, I’m so much his junior and still can’t get funds for my new film.” Kalpana is hopeful about making Singhasan with Deepika. “Maybe she can get R.K. Films to produce it,” jokes Kalpana.
