Filmmaker Anurag Basu has roped in the popular Bengali actor for Jagga Jasoos
He might be going great guns in Bollywood, but at heart, Anurag Basu remains a bhaate-maachhe bangali. Not surprisingly, therefore, the director has roped in Tolly actor Rajatava Dutta for an important role in the Ranbir Kapoor-Katrina Kaif starrer Jagga Jasoos.
The director, who catches a lot of Tollywood movies in his free time, is clued into the goings-on of the Bengali film industry.

Anurag���s last film, Barfi!, starred three Bengali actors ��� the late Haradhan Bandopadhyay, Roopa Ganguly and Jisshu Sengupta.
Confirming the news to us, Anurag said, ���Yes, Rajatavada is there in my film. He is a great actor and I wanted to work with him for long.��� But the director is as tight-lipped about the role as the actor himself. Rajatava, who reached Mumbai on Thursday morning, told us, ���I don���t know about the role. I have always admired Anurag���s work and when he said, ���Come over, we���ll have fun���, I didn���t think twice. Frankly speaking, I���m yet to go through the script. Also, Anurag is fond of improvising a lot.���
The film is already on the floors and Anurag said he is ���shooting in instalment���. Rajatava too is expected to join work at the earliest. Meanwhile, there might be other Bengali actors in the film, but Anurag told us, ���I���m yet to finalize them.���
Jagga Jasoos is reportedly a comedy-mystery film revolving around a high school student and his escapades. It���s the muchtalked-about lead pair���s third film after Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Raajneeti.
