Neelima Azim has cast his son's Kaminey co-star Chandan Sanyal for her directorial venture. And if that was not enough, she cast Shahid's ex-girlfriend Bhavna Pani in lead role.

Shahid and Bhavna went to the same college and dated for nearly two years.

A source says, “Neelima was impressed by Sanyal’s histrionics in Kaminey. As for Bhavna, she treats her like her own daughter and thinks she is a good actress.”

Ustad Raza Ali Khan, grandson of music maestro Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, will compose the music.

Talking about her role, Bhavna tells a daily, “I play a playful nautanki dancer. I am very happy that I am doing this film.”

According to reports, Neelima will play Chandan’s mother in the movie.
