Mumbai: After garnering critical acclaim
for her work in "Tumhari Sulu", actor Neha Dhupia is all set
to begin her next film, featuring Kajol.
Directed by Pradeep Sarkar, the film, tentatively titled
"Eela", is an adaptation of Anand Gandhi's Gujarati play,
"Beta Kaagdo".
Kajol plays a single parent in the film, which revolves
around the relationship shared by a mother and son.
"Life has come a full circle with this film. Pradeep
Sarkar is going to direct it and he's an amazing person to
work with. He had directed my first ever music video, many
many years ago, when I was a model," Neha told PTI.
"I'm looking forward to working with Kajol too, who
plays the protagonist in the film. She's an effortless
actor. She plays Eela, which is also the tentative title of
the film," she added.
"Eela" is produced by Ajay Devgn who, Neha said, had
produced her first film too, "so it was very nostalgic to sign
it."
In the film, Neha plays a drama instructor called
Padma. While the shoot of the movie has already begun, the
37-year-old actor will be joining the team later this month.
