Chitrangada not my muse, asserts Sudhir Mishra

Sudhir Mishra is miffed. The filmmaker is losing his mind with the oft repeated buzz that his discovery Chitrangada Singh is his muse.

“I don’t like these words. My name is not Maqbool Fida Husain. My name is Sudhir Mishra and I am a film director (not a painter who takes inspirations from a muse). I work with actors whom I am comfortable with and whom I really respect,” Mishra, who had introduced the actress with “Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi”, told IANS.

“And Chitrangada is a wonderful and outstanding actress. Whenever there is a part for her, I’ll always cast her. She has added a lot to my films ‘Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi’ and ‘Yeh Saali Zindagi’,” said the filmmaker, whose next is “Tera Kya Hoga Johnny”.
