Director Rituparno Ghosh met up with Bipasha Basu for a role in his upcoming film. She was approached to play the female lead opposite Bengali superstar Prasenjit Chatterjee in the regional film. He said, "Prasenjit and I met Bipasha for the Bengali film on July 2 in Mumbai. Right now, discussions are on and nothing has been finalised as yet. If the dates work out then Bipasha will be doing the film."
Prasenjit's production company, Ideas, will be producing the yet-untitled film. The story of the film, as Rituparno revealed, is neither about relationships nor is it a love story. "It's about the life of a superstar (Prasenjit) whose father dies in his home town. He returns for the funeral and the story deals with how he connects with his relatives there," he said.
