Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta is pretty pleased with himself. Not only has he got Vidya Balan on board for his film titled Milte Hain, he has also signed Vishal Bhardwaj to compose the music for it. “Vishal agreed to do the film immediately after reading the script. It’s been a while since Vishal composed music for an outside project, the last being U Me Aur Hum and Haal-E Dil. So it is like a coup for me,” said Gupta, adding that Gulzar is writing the lyrics.
The film, which will be directed by Meghna Gulzar, is an adaptation of Barry Creiton’s play Double Act. It is about a couple that meets 15 months after getting divorced and the drama that follows. “It is a highly successful Australian play that has staged shows all over the US and the UK for the last five years. In fact, there has also been an Indian version, Anything But Love, in which Samir Soni and Mandira Bedi play the lead roles. It is Samir who took me to see the play, and that’s when I saw the potential to adapt it for the big screen. I have already purchased the rights,” Gupta disclosed.
The film will take off early next year and will be shot in England. After this film wraps up, Gupta will start work on the remake of the Spanish hit Ladron Que Roba Ladron which is presently in the scripting stage.

This rain sensuous Vidya Balan was found enjoying rains in Bandra. And guess who was accompanying her! No there was no secret lover of Vidya but her close friend Meghna Gulzar.
Still the site was as interesting as the two ladies were dressed in traditional attire and had gone to watch a play. Apart from Vidya and her friend rains did not hamper the spirit of the actors Mandira Bedi and Samir Soni who sizzled on stage and Sanjay Gupta and his wife Anu couldn’t help cheering for them as the play came to an end.
Also, Sapna Bhavnani was enjoying the play with her friends and she joined Raell Padamsee backstage later to congratulate her.
