Abhishek in Aparna Sen's Gulel

Abhishek Bachchan will star in Bengali director Aparna Sen's debut Hindi film titled Gulel.

"For Gulel, I really want Abhishek and I know Abhishek wants to do the role. He has said yes," Sen told a news agency.

Abhishek, who worked with another Bengali director, Rituparno Ghosh (in Antarmahal), says he loves working with Bengalis.

"At the moment, there're lots of films under consideration. I'm on the verge of completing Laaga Chunari Mein Daag. That was great fun. I've worked in two Bengali films with Rituda in Antarmahal and in a film called Desh, directed by Raja Sen in which I played my own mom's son.

It would be delightful to work with Aparna Sen."
