Actor-filmmaker Rahul Bose, whose directorial movie Poorna told the underdog story of the youngest girl in the world to scale Mount Everest, says he is hopeful of next directing one of “Bollywood’s biggest actresses” in a woman-centric story set in Mumbai slum.
“I have written a new script that I have given to one of the biggest actresses in Bollywood. She has loved it and I am hoping that she will agree to act in it. It’s a woman-centric story set in a Mumbai slum,” Bose said.
“I will be directing this either end of this year or early next year.”
On the acting front, he is currently working in a movie which revolves around six people who meet as strangers and who realise that there is one thing that binds them all.
An actor, director, screenwriter, social activist and a national rugby player, Bose is a multi-faceted talent.
He said he is proud of Poorna — starring Aditi Inamdar as Poorna Malavath — which premiered on &pictures on India’s Republic Day (January 26).
“I wanted to do this film because it combines all three of my passions — working for the betterment of underprivileged girls, sports and cinema,” he said.
