Buddhadeb Dasgupta starts working on his next

Buddhadeb Dasgupta whose latest directorial ‘

Urojahaj

’ was screened at the

Kolkata International Film Festival

recently has already started working on his next film and it revolves around a woman journalist.

“My film will address the problems that plague us every day. The film is on a woman journalist and deals with the problems she faces at her workplace. She can’t function the way she wants and file reports accordingly. This affects her personal life too,” revealed the acclaimed filmmaker.

While Chandan Roy Sanyal plays the male lead in the film, search for the female lead is still on. “In today’s world, men enjoy certain benefits. But a woman doesn’t get them. She has to struggle. I am writing the film now. I will be busy till Urojahaj releases and then I will complete the script and will shoot in February and complete it by March,” adds Buddhadeb Dasgupta.

Meanwhile, ‘Urojahaj’ which stars Chandan Roy Sanyal and

Parno Mittra

in the lead will release on December 12. The film follows an idealistic villager who discovers a wrecked WW2 Japanese warplane deep in a ghostly forest. Seeing passenger planes overhead, his dream has always been to fly. He sets about secretly repairing the plane, but as he starts enquiring about an engine, the military find out and he is soon considered a national threat. What happens next forms the crux of the film.
