Known for having directing films like Lagaan, Swades, Jodhaa Akbar, What's Your Raashee and Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey, Ashutosh Gowariker is yet again going down historical annals to make a film based on the Indus Valley civilisation. Apparently, the film which is set to be announced soon, will be a love story set in a period film genre. While the budget of the film is said to be as grand as <em>Jodhaa Akbar</em>, the film's cast will comprise of an ensemble crew that has yet to be finalised.

Renowned art director of Hindi films, Nitish Roy, has announced that he would be making a film on extra - terrestrials in Bengali titled <em>Mahakaash Kando</em> (Cosmic Happenings). The film will revolve around outer space and the creatures living in it. Roy has promised that his film would be a visual extravaganza. The veteran art director said <em>Mahakash Kando</em> would introduce the Sci-fi genre into Tollygunge which is yet to be explored there though Bollywood came out with <em>Koi Mil Gaya</em> and <em>Ra One</em>.
