Perhaps, India's best known female filmmaker is all set to start her new film... after many hiccups.

Aparna Sen was set to make her first Hindi film Gulal with Ajay Devgan and Saif Ali Khan.

The project fell through, first with the producer Pritish Nandy Communications backing out, and then with the two stars revealing a reluctance to get into the project.

Sen toyed seriously with the idea of making another Bengali film with her daughter Konkona in the lead.

But now the director of Paroma and Yuganta has gone back to doing what she's best at — making an English language film. Entitled 15 Park Avenue the film will feature Aparna Sen's Mr & Mrs Iyer stars Rahul Bose and Konkona Sensharma.

Says Konkona, "Isn't my mom best at making English language films? I'm really excited about 15 Park Avenue. It's one of the best scripts mom has written. In fact she has just wrapped it up."

Konkona is also excited about coming together with Rahul Bose again after Mr & Mrs Iyer.

"We do share a very special on-screen bonding. And we're close friends in real life. But 15 Park Avenue is the story of two non-Bengali sisters living in Kolkata. It'll hopefully complete a trilogy of well-received English-language films by mom."

The film goes on the floors early next year. In the meanwhile Konkona is all set for the release of her first Hindi film Madhur Bhandarkar's Page 3, and also to begin work on Mira Nair's The Namesake.

"In my next release Ammu, I play an American Indian who returns to India to search for her parents," she adds.
