Yashpal's Tollywood debut

Director and producer Raja Chanda to cast Yashpal Sharma in his film, ���������Bullet���������, which is scheduled to go on the floors from February 9.
This ���������Bullet��������� wouldn���������t hurt. That���������s a promise from Raja Chanda. But the film-maker assures his audience that the effect of his ���������Bullet��������� would be striking. With ���������Lagaan������������������s Yashpal Sharma making his Tollywood debut, the film seems to be making headlines already.
Says Yashpal, ���������Abhijit Lahiri, one of my seniors, and the director are common friends. In fact, Raja Chanda was looking for me and Abhijit passed on my number to him. The director told me that the character was penned keeping me in mind.��������� Ask him how it all fell into place and the actor reveals, ���������I had come to Kolkata for a play where the director and producer saw my act, and confirmed me for the film.���������
Says Raja Chanda, ���������Yashpal is playing Biru Pandey, a Bihari cop,��������� adding, ���������I needed a powerful actor for the part, one who can speak in both Bengali and Hindi. Also, after having watched ���������Lagaan��������� I was eager to work with him. When I narrated the script to him, Yashpal immediately agreed to come on board.���������
���������Biru Pandey���������s short is BP meaning ���������bulletproof���������. Woh dushmano ka BP high kar deta hai. I���������ll work hard and try to learn Bengali. and it���������s confirmed that I���������ll dub for myself,��������� the actor said.
The film, which will go on the floors from February 9, also boasts of a cast of Joy, Priyanka, Kharaj Mukherjee, Rajesh Sharma, Shankar Chakraborty and others. Joy, who is working again with Raja post-���������Target��������� is excited to have bagged this role. ���������I play an underworld don here. From ���������Biltu���������, he becomes ���������Bullet���������. I am
trying to flaunt a rough and bearded look for this action flick. I am also trying out voice modulations,��������� says Joy.
Raja also explains why he chose Joy, ������������������Target��������� saw him as an honest police officer. But I wanted to explore his angry, young man image further and hence, roped him in.���������
That���������s not all. Scriptwriter Manjil Banerjee is also part of the cast. ���������The film narrates how ���������Biltu��������� becomes ���������Bullet��������� and then of his confrontation with ���������Biru Pandey���������. ���������Bullet��������� doesn���������t pay much heed to love but he eventually falls in love all thanks to ���������Mou���������, who changes his outlook on love,��������� Manjil elaborates. ���������Jeet Gannguli will score the music for the film to add to the dhamaka,��������� Raja fired his last bullet.
