Kalpana Lazmi is simultaneously working two films. One is full on comedy casting Sushmita Sen. another is an expensive period film starring Isha Kopikar as the courtesan and Rituparna Sengupta as the queen. Male leads are yet to be finalized. According to Kalpana, "It's the love story of a courtesan during the reign of King Ashoka. The central make character is a sanyasi. I want to address the dichotomy in the treatment of a courtesan, who is revered and worshipped in those times, and the queen who's treated like a doormat."
