Director Sujoy Ghosh who has directed films such as Kahaani, Ahalya and Kahaani 2: Durga Rani Singh has resigned as the head of a jury at the 48th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) to be held in Goa.
Sujoy Ghosh took this step after his two films ‘Nude’ and ‘S Durga’ dropped by the International Film Festival.
These films were recommended by the jury of 13 members of the International Film Festival of India for the festival but the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting removed these films.
Sujoy Ghosh confirmed the news of his resignation but refused to say anything more.
