After the Deb-Koel starrer Rangbaaz blazed the turnstiles, director Raja Chanda now wishes to cast a new pair in future.

Raja, who was talking after the premier of 'Bangali Babu English Mem,' said "Soham Chakraborty and Mimi look very natural on screen and as the pair clicks I will sure cast the duo in a future film."

Director Ravi Kinnagi said the extensive outdoor shoots in Canada were necessitated to impart realistic touch to the film as it also talked about the Bengali diaspora which was a sub-plot to the romantic flick.

The film, not a remake of the Hindi 'English Babu Desi Mem' starring SRK way back in 1996, reflects the present change over in urban Bengalee households, Kinnagi, the director of superhit Awara starring Jeet, said.
 

The flick, produced by Sri Venkatesh Films, cast Soham and Mimi for the second time after the first Bengali road movie 'Bojhena Se Bojhena" by Raj Chakraborty, which had blended realistic and entertainer genres.
