Manoj to pair up with Mahima for Tolly?

It’s not uncommon for the Bollywood stars to try their luck in Tollygunge. In fact, Bollywood biggies like Tanuja, Juhi Chawla, Mandakini and Neelam have given our film industry several hits in the past. Tollywood, it seems, is once again set to see a revival of this trend. “I am so happy that Manisha Koirala has agreed to do a film with me,� said ace director Anjan Choudhury.
Leading director Swapan Saha is planning to rope in Mahima Chaudhury for a film. “Talks are on,� said Saha.
With more and more NRIs and businessmen turning producers, money is no problem for directors who can now afford a Mumbai star.
And it’s not the heroines alone who are turning to Bengali films. Actor Manoj Bajpai will be playing the lead role in director Joydeb Paria’s next flick. “It will also have Mahima besides Manoj,� informed Paria.
