Sushmita Sen is currently busy preparing for her film Rani Laxmibai in which the actress will be directing herself.
From producing the entire project to performing a lot of the stunts in the film, Sen is throwing herself in every part of the film. Sush has reportedly roped in her ex, Randeep Hooda, as she prepares for the role.
"The film is a big project. Sushmita is bringing in people from the West in the project. From war sequences to a lot of horse riding, the film has a lot of hard core action and Sushmita is really looking forward to doing it all. She has already begun training and physically preparing for it," says a source.
About roping in Randeep, the source adds, "Randeep is very good at horse riding so when Sushmita began working on the project she asked him to help her. Randeep was more than happy as they are still very good friends. Sushmita will be doing a lot of sequences that will involve a lot of horse riding and so Randeep is expected to train her at the race course in Mumbai," Interestingly Sushmita's close friend Mudassar Aziz is also a part of this film. He is involved in the scripting and editing of the film.
The movie is being made with a huge budget in affiliation with the Madhya Pradesh government. The government is believed to have given some land to Sen to create a life like studio to film her movie and the studio will then be converted into a museum for visitors.
It sure looks that Sushmita plans to leave no stone unturned to ensure that her film is as grand and larger than life as the actress herself.
