Veteran filmmaker Shyam Benegal's last film Welcome To Sajjanpur emerged as one of the surprise hits of 2008 garnering both critical acclaim and commercial B.O. success.

Now the acclaimed filmmaker is all set to start his next film tentatively titled Abba Ka Kuan.

In this film as well Benegal has repeated Bhojpuri superstar Ravi Kishen after his last film Welcome To Sajjanpur.

Ravi Kishen played the role of a bumbling hospital compounder in WTS and in Abba Ka Kuan too, Ravi will be essaying a comic part.

Shyam Benegal states, "Yes, my next film is tentatively called Abba Ka Kuan. It's based on a short story called Narsaiya Ki Baawdi written in 1988 by Jeelani Bano.

The film stars Boman Irani, Ravi Kissen, Minissha Lamba, Sammir Dattani, Divya Dutta and Ravi Jhankal among others. Big Pictures is producing the film and we start shooting from Feb 1st."
