Noted Bengali filmmaker and script writer Buddhadeb Dasgupta is all set to do a film with Malayalam actor Mammootty. When contacted, he said, "Even though I’ve done movies in Hindi and Bengali, this is the first time that I will be making a movie in a south Indian language.

The producer of my movie is also keen that I cast the actor in my film. I wanted to meet the actor but as he was abroad, I couldn’t meet him. Mammootty will play a school teacher in the film.

But before that film happens, Dasgupta will begin work on a Hindi film based on Tagore's poetry.
