Sushmita Sen may not be an iconic Bollywood star, but the lady is sure known for her elegance and poise. These days Sushmita is all but full of talks for her first project ‘Rani Laxmibai’ under her Production House, ‘Tantra Productions’. While ‘Tantra’ is the parent company dealing with various fields of entertainment, ‘Sushmita Sen Productions’ will be producing feature films.

With Sushmita holding the directorial reins of the film herself, not to mention she is very busy these days. Sen has got Manmohan Desai’s son Ketan Desai’s MKD Productions to collaborate with her. Ketan will serve as the executive producer on the project.

Another Desai, Nitin, has been assigned the task of designing the elaborate period sets of the film. For the crucial war scenes Sushmita takes her mixed Indo-British crew to China. Since the film will be in Urdu and Hindi, Sush is working hard in getting her Urdu right. Sushmita will dedicate ‘Rani Laxmibai’ to her dear friend Rajiv Narayan who died of cancer recently.
