Industry sources said work for the film, creatively produced by the Satyaneswhi sleuth of Rituparno Ghosh, may start this year itself with the working title being 'Reunion'.
"We have a film with Sujoy Ghosh planned next.." a top official from Viacom 18, the producers of critically feted and audience-backed Neeraj Pandey directed Special 26, will merely say.
However, the official did not disclose the title or subject of the film.
"With the type of all India releases we had - like Sujoy's Kahaani, or Madras Cafe by Shoojit Sircar - the next Bengali project will be in sync with the sensibilities of the Bengalee audiences who have made the turnaround possible," Viacom 18 Coo Anjit Andhare said.
Ghosh and Kahaani-star Vidya Balan are also working together for a real-life character - bureaucrat Durga Shakti Nagpal - in a next film.
