Not many know this but Sushmita Sen speaks fluent Bengali with her parents, and has been pining to do a Bengali film for a very long time. She did a Bengali film, Mahesh Manjrekar's It Was Raining That Night in 2005, a remake of the director's Astitwa, which never got released. More recently Sushmita was all set to star in Rupali Chatterjee's Jodi Emon Hoto. That project is now as good as shelved. Finally the Bengali project that Sushmita has been craving to do has materialized.
