Rituparno Ghosh plays a Gay in Chhaya Chhobi

It seems, after Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham, its Rituparno Ghosh’ turn to play a gay on the silverscreen. Abhishek and John did a beautiful gay-act in Dostana.

Now, Bengali filmmaker, Rituparno Ghosh is all set to debut as an actor with director Kaushik Ganguly's gay love story “Chhaya Chhobi”. Although Ghosh plays a director, the character is not at all inspired by him, Ganguly clarified that the character is not inspired by Ghosh's life.

Ghosh plays the role of Neel who is in love with his cameraman. But the cameraman is a bisexual and married. The movie tries to bring out loneliness and psychologically miserable life one has to live just because the society finds one’s behaviour and thought process abnormal. Ganguly wants to give a message through the film.

Raima Sen will play a researcher, while Ganguly's actor wife, Churni Ganguly, will play cameraman's spouse. The actor, who will play the cameraman, is yet to be finalised.

Raima Sen on Cover of Maxim November edition

Maxim, the hottest magazine in town, proudly displays its latest prized catch in the form of the coolest Sen of Bollywood- Raima, the elder sister of Riya Sen and the proud daughter of the ever-so-beautiful Moon Moon Sen.

Guys out there, need to wait to be on her wish-list, because Raima confesses that she has a pretty bad taste in men. No wonder then, Maxim guys were generous enough to offer her a lifetime subscription of the mag, post which, a happy Raima said that 'It might help me understand men better'.

The man who has really made an impact on this Bong-shell's life is none other than the ex-Bond Pierce Brosnan, as Raima finds him pretty charming and good-looking. What a wonderful connection this, the Bong-Bond pair.

Even a slight talk about her ex-man Kunal Kapoor, she immediately shuts any further 'probing' by saying 'We do talk occasionally, but it's just that his friend circle is different from mine. And if you want to beat him up, please be my guest".

Riya and Raima to play sisters

They are real life sisters. But now, Raima Sen and Riya Sen are coming together in Vicky Chopra's Seasons Greetings as reel life sisters. The episodic film directed by Vicky Chopra will apparently have six stories all coming together in unexpected ways.

Raima shooting in Italy says, "Yes, Riya and I are finally coming together as sisters. But I'm yet to hear the script, though I've given the nod."

Riya speaking about the project earlier has said, "Raima and I stay together in Mumbai. There is not a thing that we don't share. All our friends are common. If she likes someone, so do I. And if I dislike someone, she doesn't have a choice. Our friends say we should have been twins."

When Shilpa and her sister Shamita came together, it was to play soutens in Deepak Tijori's Fareb.

These sisters too had offers earlier to act together. "But we were pretty sure that if and when we come together, it would have to be as sisters," said Riya.
