After "Barfi!", Anurag Basu's next two films are biopics on Bihar's globally celebrated mathematician Anand Kumar and legendary playback singer Kishore Kumar. The director says "a legal letter of consent" from the respective families is a must before starting the projects.

Film: "Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal"; Cast: Nana Patekar, Shreyas Talpade, Madhurima Bannerjee, Om Puri, Paresh Rawal, Asrani and Neeraj Vora; Director: Priyadarshan; Rating: ***

If you can overlook the outrageous suggestion that Nana Patekar could be Om Puri's son, then you're in for some clean, healthy, wholesome and engaging fun in this comic drama about a stranger who walks into a Catholic village and changes malfunctional lives with his positivity.

There is an Australian twist to "Dhoom 3" with model-turned-actress Tabrett Bethell joining the likes of Aamir Kahn and Katrina Kaif in the action thriller, which marks her debut in the Hindi film industry.

"Please welcome the lovely Tabrett Bethell who joins the cast of 'Dhoom 3' today," co-star Uday Chopra tweeted Thursday night.

"Dhoom 3" is the third instalment of the successful action-adventure "Dhoom" franchise and it also stars Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra who were in the first two films.

Director-producer Anurag Kashyap, known for his cult films, is happy producing Manoj Bajpai's "Chittagong" and said the film will finally come out towards the middle of the next month.

"This film is finally coming out and will see the light of the day. I know how this film was made and how it was put together. In fact, I got the star cast of 'Gangs of Wasseypur' through this film. Manoj introduced me to this film," Kashyap said at the music launch of the film held Thursday.
