Actress Raima Sen is presently busy shooting for Bachelor along with her sister Riya. Bachelor is a commercial comedy ala N. Chandra`s Style and is being directed by debutante Ajay Sinha. In addition, Raima is also shooting for Rituparno Ghosh`s Chokerbali based on Rabindranath Tagore`s famous novel of the same name along with Aishwarya Rai.
Incidentally, the talented Nandita Das was initially supposed to essay the role that Rai was later offered by Ghosh. Meanwhile, Raima is busy shuttling between Mumbai and Kolkata to keep up her schedules for both the films. Her role in both, are as different as chalk and cheese. While Bachelor sees Raima play a college kid with attitude, she essays the role of a widow in Chokerbali. Apparently, the young lady also has offers for some other Bengali films.
Not one to make a distinction between mainstream and off beat Raima is happy acting in both the streams, though she has declined to act in South Indian movies because language seems an obvious barrier.
