Mumbai, June 12 (UNI) Following the remarkable success of "Bou Buttu Bhuta", Odia star Babushaan Mohanty is set to collaborate with one of Indian cinema's premier character actors, Ashutosh Rana, on a new-age action drama that draws inspiration from Indian mythology.
The project will be directed by Chinmay Das, with the makers expected to formally unveil the film on July 16.
