"Mary Kom" fame director Omung Kumar says he will start shooting his next film, based on World War II, by mid-October 2015.

Kumar told IANS: "It's a period film and I feel their stories haven't been told on screen. I will shoot in some real locations and also create a set. I will start shooting by mid-October."

The film, which will also touch upon emotions and love, is tentatively titled "War".

Kumar said it will be a multi-starrer film with one lead actor.

"I haven't locked anyone for the film yet. Talks are on. I need good actors for the film. I don't believe in A-listers and B-listers."
