Preity, Arjun join Amitabh in Rituparno's next film

Preity Zinta, Arjun Rampal and Amitabh Bachchan will be seen together in Rituparno Ghosh's forthcoming English film. The yet untitled film, which is being produced by Planman Motion Pictures, will also feature Shefali Shah, Bengali actor Jishu Sengupta and Divya Dutta.

"I am extremely happy with the finalisation of the cast. A great script and good actors are an extremely exciting proposition. I am sure the film will shape up wonderfully. After all, Ghosh is a magician of a director," said Arindam Chaudhuri, chairperson of Planman Motion Pictures.

Shubho Shekhar Bhattacharjee, CEO, Planman Motion Pictures, said the film would go on floors by the end of February.

"An integral part of the film would be shot abroad, for which we are exploring several location options. As soon as the formalities are done, we will finalise the international schedule," said Bhattacharjee.
