Almost 14 years since he launched Vidya Balan in Bollywood with Parineeta (2005), filmmaker Pradeep Sarkar may reunite with his protégé. It has been heard that Sarkar is planning to bring the story of Binodini Dasi to the big screen.

Better known as Noti Binodini, she was a 19th-century courtesan who was selected by famed artiste Girish Chandra Ghosh to act in a play. She went on to rule the theatre scene in Kolkata for over a decade.
