He will be seen opposite Rituparna Sengupta – the leading lady of Main, Meri Patni Aur Woh fame and top Bengali actress. Babul, who claims to have no formal training in acting, will be trying his hand at the same with Mazumdar’s help. It is learned that he will also feature in his own music videos henceforth, and will attempt a Bollywood flick if a good offer comes his way.
Chandrer Bali will go on floors by the 22nd of April this year.
