Sahara One Motion Pictures, the biggest player in the business, has signed Bipasha Basu to play the lead character in Madhur Bhandarkar's "Corporate", a prestigious project being produced by Percept Picture Company.

"Corporate" is Bhandarkar's next directorial venture after the National Award winner "Page 3", also a Sahara One Motion Pictures release. "Corporate" will examine the dynamics of the corporate world.

Bipasha Basu will play the role of an ambitious individual determined to climb the corporate ladder. It is being described as a gritty realistic drama, which is Bhandarkar's core strength as a filmmaker.

The film should be ready for release some time next year.
