The stage is set for Koel Mullick to make her first Bollywood splash. The daughter of Ranjit Mullick (senior Bengali actor), Koel will make her Bollywood debut in AB Corp¿s forthcoming venture 'Family'. She has been cast opposite Aryaman, son of Keshu Ramsay, the film's co-producer. The film also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar.
Says Koel, "I play a very practical-minded medical student with whom Aryaman falls in love. The character has the right shades of bubbly behaviour as well." Rajkumar Santoshi's directorial venture 'Family' finds Bachchan in a negative shade. Sridhar Raghavan has penned the script and the music is scored by Ram Sampat, both of 'Khakee' fame.
Koel is unsure whether she'll be shifting base to Mumbai. "I would love to do more in Bollywood. But it's early days yet. Let's see what destiny has in store for me," she concludes.
