Filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh recently joked about matching horoscopes of actors Tamannaah Bhatia and Vijay Varma before casting them in Lust Stories 2. The Netflix anthology comprises of four different short films with Sujoy directing the one featuring Tamannaah and Vijay.
Tamannaah Bhatia and Vijay Varma fell in love while working on Lust Stories 2, which was also their first collaboration. They were rumoured to be dating for quite some time until Tamannaah confirmed it in an interview.
Talking about Tamannaah and Vijay, Sujoy Ghosh told Pinkvilla, “I think they were the only two people willing to do it. I am joking.” During the group interview, Amit Sharma who directed another segment of the anthology, jokingly quipped, “Nahi, inhone kundaliyan mangwayi thi pundit se. Match huye toh yeh aa gaye iss film mein (Sujoy matched their horoscope's with a pundit before getting them on board for his short story).” Sujoy admitted that he created a love story on his own.
“It just happened. I was working with Vijay on a film earlier and then Tamannaah in. They both wanted to work together and it just happened. I gave them the script. Tamannaah liked the script, Vijay liked the script. Tamannaah had some questions, Vijay answered those questions and then… game on,” the director answered.
