Madhur Bhandarkar to try his hands on musical film

Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar is working on his next film which will be a musical and is also likely to have a touch of realism.

Madhur is known for his realistic films like 'Chandni Bar', 'Page 3', 'Corporate', 'Traffic Signal', 'Fashion', 'Jail' and 'Heroine' and had earlier also attempted a romantic-comedy 'Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji'.

He has now teamed up with Bhushan Kumar of T-Series for a film.

"He is doing a film for us, it is musical but it will have a touch of what he does (realism). The film is in scripting stage so I cannot reveal much," Bhushan, T-Series' head honcho, who would be producing the film, told PTI.

"With T-Series, you are bound to have music being at the forefront in addition to the other elements. There will be an emphasis on music. The film will be different from what we both have done so far," he added.

The yet to be titled film will hit the floors from August-September.

Talking about the star cast, Bhushan says, "We will have a huge star cast. We are yet to finalise things."
