"I am doing a film with Anurag (Basu). I have already given him the dates. I can't back out from the commitments to Anurag or the other films I do here," Saswata told PTI at the trailer launch of "Jenana", a film on male transgenders hanging around at traffic signals.
While Saswata said he cannot say anything more about his role in Basu's film, he will reportedly play Ranbir Kapoor's father in "Jagga Jasoos", which also stars Katrina Kaif.
"Sujoy had told me I am in his film. But there has been no update of late."
"I also heard that (the film stars shooting soon). But I can't tweak my dates which have already been given to Anurag or local films I have already signed," said Saswata.
