Mahima Chaudhary has signed the film - 'Chess' as a leading lady. But what thrills her more is Anupam Kher is there. "Chess as it's my first English film. But what makes my excitement manifold is the opportunity I get to work with Anupam as my co-star. In 'Om Jai Jagdish' he was my director. There was not a single dull moment on the sets with him around. He is a great entertainer off-camera, too. Always kept us in splits. That wan an amazing experience!", exciting Mahima says.
