Sushmita Sen is back in business
On May 17, Mumbai Mirror had reported that Anil Sharma's younger brother Kapil Sharma is making his directorial debut with Sitaare.
Then Kapil Sharma had told Mumbai Mirror, "Yes, I am making a film on a controversial actress who has been an ex number one in the industry. However, I am not comfortable talking about it now. All I can say is that the film is called Sitaare and has the backdrop of Bollywood.
"It is a story that I wanted to tell.

I have been an industry kid and I want to unveil the mystery behind the actress. It is the journey of the actress, which is so interesting and colourful. It is her iconic career, her relationships and the ups and downs in her life," he further added.
Reportedly, Kapil was in talks with Rani Mukerji and Sridevi for the lead role but it didn't work out. The latest is that our very own ex-Miss Universe Sushmita Sen will make her comeback to acting with the very film.
A source confirmed, "Yes, Sushmita has been approached and she has liked the script. She is positively interested in the film. Over the past couple of years, she has dedicated her time to her personal affairs. Now, she will have to prepare for the transition to her professional life."
Rumour has it that the film is based on Rekha's life. A source said, "There are roles of a senior actress, an actress in her mid-thirties and a couple of actresses from the younger lot. It is an eclectic mix of characters with different personalities. It is not based on Rekha's life but it has elements of her personality certainly. She is a mystery and hence, so attractive even today. It is a completely fictional story."
When asked whether Sushmita Sen is playing the main role of a diva, Kapil Sharma said, "Sushmita is a diva and everyone would love to work with her. Apart from that, I really don't want to comment on anything." Interestingly, when contacted Sushmita Sen denied the story while, Kapil Sharma maintained his stance.
