National Award-winning filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar has started shooting his next project 'Calendar Girls'. He will launch five fresh faces with the movie.

`Start shooting #CalendarGirls from today (Wednesday)! High on concept, this youthful film has 5 new faces to be shot in a 40 day start-to-finish schedule,` Bhandarkar tweeted.

Earlier there were reports that he had approached model-turned-actress Deepika Padukone for the film but the rumours were quashed.

Bhandarkar, who has helmed films like "Fashion", "Page 3" and "Corporate", last directed a project titled `Heroine` in 2012 featuring Kareena Kapoor.
