Actress Sushmita Sen is back in the news. Firstly, there is her next film, Ram Gopal Verma Ki Sholay, which is scheduled for a release later this month and then there is her new boyfriend, Bunty Sachdev.

Of course Sush denies that Bunty is her boyfriend. Last week, all the papers were plastered with photographs of the two of them at a party. She denies being Bunty's Babli and says that Bunty is her manager and not boyfriend. As for her forthcoming release, Sushmita's character is called Durga in Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag. It is supposedly Ramu's take on Jaya Bachchan's character in Sholay. But Durga is slightly different. She is a doctor and very much a woman of today. Not the silent types at all. Post Aag, Sushmita has Dulha Mil Gaya in her kitty. But the film that the actress is really excited about is Lakshmi Bai, her debut venture as a producer. The actress is looking towards a 2009 release and is all set to announce a director very soon.
