Mumbai, July 01: Everybody who is somebody in Bollywood have pledged to do their bit for pulling the Bengali film industry from the nadir. The latest to join the bandwagon is film-maker Mahesh Bhatt. His next project -- a Hindi film -- is set in Kolkata. Bhatt will be in town in mid-July for the shooting.
The film will be directed by Anurag Basu whose debut directorial venture Saaya will be released this Friday. Rani Mukherjee and Rahul Khanna will be playing the lead in this yet untitled film. What more, Bhatt plans to take in majority of the cast and crew from Bengal. No established names — the idea is to cast new faces preferably with a theatre background.
