Model turned actor Bidita Bag, who has worked in critically acclaimed Bengali film `Ichhe`, will soon make her Bollywood debut in the film `From Sydney with Love`.

On a promotional event of the film in the city on Wednesday, the director of the film, Prateek Chakravorty, said that he cast Bidita Bag from Facebook.

Prateek Chakravorty, who is the grandson of late director and producer Pramod Chakravorty, said that he would love to continue with his grandfather`s legacy.

Prateek, along with giving direction in the film, has acted in the film too.

Prateek, who assisted Bollywood filmmaker Vipul Shah in few films, said that he initially cast someone else to play his role in the film, but due to visa problems the actor missed the chance and instead he himself acted in the film.

Speaking about his character, he added: `There are certain similarities between me and the character that I am portraying in the film.`

The Bong actress said: `The film `From Sydney with Love` is a romantic comedy. I am playing the role of a girl named Meghna Banerjee, who lives in Bolpur. After earning a scholarship from a university of Australia she moves in to Australia.`

`In Australia she encounters three young men, portrayed by Prateek Chakravorty, Karan Sagoo and Sharad Malhotra. The story unfolds around the relationship between these four people.`

Music of the film has been composed by Sohail Sen. Singers like Mohit Chauhan, Mika Singh and Monali Thakur have lent their voices for the songs in the film.

The film has been shot in India and Australia.
